Orchard Toys donate games and jigsaws to local hospital
Orchard Toys hope to bring smiles to the faces of young patients and staff at the Jenny Lind Children’s Hospital in Norwich having donated over £400 worth of their games and jigsaws.
Managing Director, Simon Newbery and Marketing Manager, Ali Brown joined staff and patients to present a selection of Orchard Toys products, which will be used across several wards and waiting rooms, as well as for one-to-one therapy and for children to play with other patients.
Simon Newbery said, “The hospital offers a phenomenal service to local children and their families and we hope that this donation will help the staff to make the experience of a hospital visit a little more fun.”
Emma Dolman, Matron for Children’s services commented, “we are always extremely grateful for donations such as these. Play is a normal part of childhood and being able to play in hospital is a great way of distracting children from what is happening to them and helps to make them feel more settled in the hospital environment. Children are seen in a number of department across the Trust and having games and jigsaws in all these areas helps to improve the overall experience for the child and family.”
