NHS Trust gets behind toy
appeal
STAFF from NHS Trust CWP have
generously donated hundreds of toys to the Toy Appeal, which will see many local
under privileged children and families receive gifts on Christmas Day.
Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CWP) set up 20 collection
points for donations throughout November. Staff from across Cheshire and Wirral
generously donated to the appeal, with the Trust's Chief Executive and Director
of Nursing joining Toy Appeal founder Dee Drake in helping box and drop off the
donations.
Alongside the hundreds of toys donated to the appeal, the Trust will be sending
a number of donations to local children and young people under the care of CWP's
Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.
Avril Devaney MBE, Director of Nursing, Therapies and Patient Participation at
CWP, said:- "We decided to support this wonderful cause after meeting Dee
and hearing about the fantastic work the appeal has already accomplished. It's
been heart-warming to see all of the toys our staff have donated, and joining
Dee to help box and send donations was an absolute privilege."
Dee Drake, founder of the Toy Appeal, said:- "We were thrilled to have the
support of CWP and to be able to support some of the people who use their
services. We hope the Christmas toy sacks bring lots of smiles on Christmas
Day."
