Annually, Hands of Hope works alongside other community groups to gather and distribute much needed gifts and resources to children who may be spending their Christmas in hospital due to short or long term illnesses.
Hospitals currently do not receive any funding or subsidies to provide children with basic well bring resources to support their mental health during their stay within the hospital.
This project has run for approximately 5 years now and has been received with much appreciation from patients, families and hospital staff.
Each and every year we understand more and more the importance of our Christmas Toy Drop as the items we give no longer are seen as toys as such but more of a resource which is beneficial to the child in many ways.
