Children in hospital get toys for Christmas with the help of a Harborough business

Staff at Bray & Bray’s offices in Harborough, Hinckley and Corby, along with clients, donated new toys and gifts to youngsters on Skylark Ward.

They leapt into action after a wishlist of goodies was compiled by staff and children.

Skylark Ward, the purpose-built Children’s Ward at the hospital, provides modern and comfortable facilities for children and their parents or carers.

Andrew Hitchon, Partner and Head of the Wills, Trusts and Probate Department at Bray & Bray, handed out gifts to thrilled children.

The veritable treasure trove included games, puzzles, colouring books, soft toys, arts and crafts supplies and Lego.

“We really wanted to support our local community and help spread some cheer this festive season,” said Andrew.

“Thanks to the generosity of the Bray & Bray team and our clients, we were able to donate toys and gifts to the Skylark Ward.

“We hope the toys will bring joy to the children and a little Christmas cheer at what is a difficult time for them.”

Trisha Bridgen, Play Coordinator on Skylark Ward, said: “At this time of year the Skylark Ward is extremely busy.

“We appreciate every donation from our local community.

“The kindness of amazing donors like Bray & Bray means that every child on the Ward, from newborns to teenagers, will receive a gift this Christmas.”
