The Nearly New Toy Sale held on August 10th 2024, was such a wonderful day raising £211.53 for the Children’s Appeal at East Surrey Hospital. The event, made possible by generous donations of gently used toys from volunteers, drew in patients, relatives and staff to support a good cause while finding some fantastic pre-loved toys.

A special thank you goes out to Spread a Smile for adding an extra touch of magic to the day. Their team delighted the children with face painting, singing, and a visit from a magical fairy, bringing joy to the young patients on the wards.

The funds raised will go towards purchasing new toys that cater to a variety of age groups, enhancing the play experience for children in the hospital. The success of this event would not have been possible without the community’s generosity and the dedication of volunteers.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this heartwarming event! Your support helps us continue to bring smiles and comfort to the children at East Surrey Hospital.
