Give a gift this Christmas to support your local hospital

The Medway Hospital Charity has set up an online gift wishlist to bring festive cheer to patients this festive season.

Donating via the Amazon wishlist gives you the opportunity to support patients from the comfort of your own home and it’s a great alternative to physical gifting or monetary support.

Each item has been carefully picked by our hospital staff and all presents will be delivered direct to the hospital, with prices starting at just £2.85.

Cheryl Jones, Fundraising Officer, said: “We are extremely grateful for all donations received and, if you can afford to support, our patients will really appreciate it.

“If you don’t have an Amazon account and would like to buy a gift, here are a few suggestions: Christmas activity packs for our children’s ward, colouring pens, chocolates or socks for patients.

“Last year the wishlist appeal was a huge success with more than 300 items donated by our generous community.

“The charity team was able to deliver your gifts to the children’s ward, children’s community and outreach team, maternity department, older persons wards and safeguarding team.

“These presents made a huge difference to patients who were in hospital during Christmas because it’s always nice to know someone is thinking of you.
