Christmas gifts for young patients
On December 15th and 18th 2025, Chelsea and Westminster and West Middlesex Hospitals held Christmas parties for the young patients. Some of our committee members put together wonderful Christmas party bags, and even had Father Christmas hand them out!
Hazel Rand, Ward Nurse and Play & Youth Service Lead at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, said, “Just looking at the pictures of the children, you could see how happy they were to receive the gifts.”
Some of our committee members also put together activity packs for the Paediatric A&E to be used over the Christmas and New Year period while young patients were waiting to be seen.

“I remember one little boy opened his in delight and fell in love with the pet inside its box. The choice of presents were well thought out and with plenty to keep them entertained. I did give to some of the patients within their cubicles who were infectious or too unwell to attend the party and they were so happy to have and play with the items.”
