CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL PYJAMA'S

We collect brand new pairs of pyjamas for children aged between newborn and 18 (inclusive). The pyjamas are then donated to Hospitals, Hospices, Hospital at home teams and women's refuges up and down the Country. They will then distribute the pyjamas to children who are poorly or underprivileged.
