Merry Christmas!🎄

The holidays are a time to pause, reflect, and recharge. Whether it’s a quiet moment or time with loved ones, make space for what matters most. Caring for yourself helps you care for others💝

We are very lucky to receive lots of gifts and donations for the babies, children and young people in hospital but Katrina from Scents by Katrina in Dalkeith wanted to do something for parents and carers too. She therefore organised a Christmas campaign to "sponsor a parent gifts" so that she could donate bags of wellbeing items to some of the parents/carers who are also spending the festive period in hospital.

Thank you so much đź’™

For many years (including at the old hospital) we have received a regular donation from the same person and this year was no different. It was delivered as usual by a special Elf (as per the photo). The parcels contained lots baby gifts, board games, teenage gifts, toiletry sets for older patients as well as vouchers which are always very handy and this year also included a Barbie Malibu Dream house which will make someone's Christmas extra special. Our donor and special elf wish to remain anonymous but we are very grateful that they both take time out of their busy lives to remember the children and young people in hospital at this time of year.

Thank you so very much đź’™

Thank you to Edinburgh City Giants FC for this amazing donation of selection boxes, various sweets and chocolate for patients, families and staff here in the hospital, which they handed over to Taylor from the Clinical Co-Ordination Team.

I am sure it will make spending time in hospital or working over the festive period that little bit better. đź’™

A few days ago we let you all know about how all the gorgeous pups and owner Louise at Do-good Dogs raised an amazing amount of money to buy gifts for all the babies, children and young people who will be in hospital over the festive period. We were delighted to meet Louise today when she brought in an amazing amount of presents, selection boxes and vouchers to hand out. Thank you so much to Louise and her gorgeous furry “customers” 🩵
