Holdsworth Lions Club made an initial donation of a voucher for the hospital paediatrics department to purchase toys, which was quickly added to by The Warehouse.
Charge Nurse Manager Paediatrics Tess Geard said they enjoyed selecting some new items to add to the toy box in the Children’s Ward.
“It was a great opportunity to pick toys that will be fun and suitable for our patients. It was particularly good to be able to select toys for children across the different age ranges that we have in hospital, so we have something for everyone during their stay.”
Tess said the toys would provide both comfort and entertainment for patients in the ward.
“Staying in hospital can be a daunting and scary time for children. Having toys available helps to make their stay more enjoyable and provides a welcome distraction while they receive treatment.
“We’re hugely grateful to the Holdsworth Lions Club and The Warehouse Masterton for supporting our patients and helping to make their hospital experience as positive as possible.”
