Hi everyone


I run a UK registered charity, Heal The World For Children. Each August we host a Children's Festival in Dulwich Park for local sick and disadvantaged children and visit hospitals and hospices each Christmas to take gifts and entertainment to children who have to be in hospital during the festive season.


This month we will be visiting UCLH and I am urgently looking for donations of unwanted new toys, CDs and games to take with us.


We are a small charity (three people) and we all work at other jobs. This year we have not had much time to raise the necessary funds to buy as many gifts as we need.


Please do get in touch if you have anything to donate or if you would like further indormation.


Thank you.

Hi


Thank you!! The age range is 0 to 12 (although the other ward has teenagers on it). We will be visiting on 19th December so ideally I would like to collect things by the 15th so that I can wrap them up and label them.


I would be happy to collect any items.


My number is : 07963636692


Thank you!

Hello, I have a few things to donate. Is there any chance that there's a local business out there that would be willing to hold a collection box for you for people to drop things off? I unfortunately don't have a car but would hate to make you come to us for just a few things.
Toni & Guy Ward (the KCH children's ward that most children acutely unwell get admitted to) is having a Christmas gift drive if anyone wanted to donate to a more local hospital. There's a page about it on FB (search for "Toni & Guy Ward" & it'll then be the first result.

Yes, Tony and Guy are great , my daughter was there for quite a long time last year. In fact out first ever charity event in 2009 was to this ward, you can see photos of the visit on the wall of their playroom.


No child should be in hospital.


I chose UCLH this year as the students in my form group will be attending and it was safer for them to attend a hospital local to the school.


Everyone is being very generous so we will indeed have plenty of toys. I was thinking of using any excess to visit Demelza but I will contact Sue on T&G and see if we can also go there before or just after Christmas. Will be nice to thank them all again for helping my daughter at a time when we thought she wouldn't make it.

Mybaby178 - On the FB page it says the pressie should be wrapped but with a description of what it is/age & sex it's appropriate for (I recall giving a teenage boy an Emma Bunton cd one yr in A&E).


Prob best to call the ward & speak to the ward manager before dropping off.


Mens - fair enough & didn't mean to hijack x

    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did!
    • But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....
