Local support for St George’s kids
Children being treated at St George’s Hospital got a welcome surprise on Thursday 27 November when the Paediatric ward received visits from two generous local groups.
The ward’s Puffa charity fund received a £500.00 gift from Royal Mail’s South London Postal Sports Social Club, part of an annual donation from the group to selected healthcare centres in South London. Social Club Chairman Colin Williams and Office Manager Yvonne Brown were shown around the ward and met some of the children before presenting their donation.
The ward was also visited by a small delegation from local Muslim school Gatton Primary. Children and staff from the school presented 60 shoe boxes full of gifts and messages of encouragement to children at St George’s.
