The annual Frank Charles Give A Gift Appeal has once again brought festive cheer to children spending Christmas on Acorn Ward at Whipps Cross Hospital.
This year’s appeal marked the 21st anniversary of Wanstead resident Frank Charles BEM delivering presents to young patients who are too unwell to go home for the holidays.
“Thanks to the generosity of the local community, a wonderful collection of new toys, books, and games were donated. I am truly overwhelmed by the kindness of our community. I want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated, and to Wanstead Pharmacy for being our collection point. Together, we’ve made a real difference,” said Frank.
Gifts were delivered to the hospital on 20 December.
