Give a gift to a child or adult in Milton Keynes hospital this Christmas

Christmas at the hospital will be very different this year, with all the usual toy and gift drops from charities on hold due to Covid restrictions.

Vanessa Holmes, head of Milton Keynes Hospital Charity said: “We recognise that this will be disappointing news but know that the local community will understand that the safety of our patients, as well as our amazing staff, is absolutely paramount.

"We have instead created a new virtual way to give a gift to patients in hospital this Christmas, as well as staff."

It's really quick and easy to give a gift. Simply click here to pick an item from the charity's Christmas wish list. The list include toys for the children's ward.

You can also make a donation to the ward or department of your choice by visiting www.mkhcharity.org.uk Vanessa said: "We’ve worked closely with staff across our hospital to ensure that your donation can help make a difference to the patients who need it most this Christmas”.
