Morrisons Leek appeal for Children's Hospital

On behalf of patients and staff at Staffordshire Children’s Hospital at Royal Stoke, we’d like to say a huge thank you to Morrisons Leek and its customers for their incredible generosity with their pyjama and toy appeal.

Dozens of items were kindly donated for the benefit of UHNM’s youngest patients.

Adam Handley from Morrisons Leek explains: “Donations have come from residents of Leek and surrounding areas. The store put out an appeal for pyjamas and toys for the Children’s Hospital, and people from as far afield as Macclesfield and Buxton have responded brilliantly.

“I think we’ve had so many donations because people know its going local to cause close to everybody’s heart- we all know somebody that’s been touched by UHNM and the work that they do.

“It’s been an amazing response, and one we’d like to do every year and really get all our customers and locals behind. I’d like to say thank you to every single person who’s donated it really means a lot.”

Emma Biddulph, Play Specialist Coordinator at Staffordshire Children’s Hospital at Royal Stoke said: “The donations will help patients across the hospital, from keeping them busy at their bedside to rewards after procedures. What we have sees us all year around- we’re very lucky to receive a lot of donations at Christmas, but they also have to last us the other 364 days of the year, so we’re really grateful to Morrisons customers.”

Amanda Heywood, HR People Manager for Morrisons Staffordshire added: “Morrisons are really passionate about helping local organisations and community projects, and we are very grateful to have brough support to Staffordshire Children’s Hospital from the local community.”
