The Mid Cheshire Hospitals “Little Ones” appeal is almost halfway to its £100,000 fundraising target.
The appeal has been supported by major retailers and local businesses over the last few months, organisers say.
It received gifts and toys to be distributed throughout the Mid Cheshire Hospitals Foundation Trust to patients.
Tesco Extra in Crewe held a month-long toy appeal.
Other donations of items were given from Hays Travel, Banks Sheridan Accountants, Dabbers and Crewe Kings Scooter Club to name a few.
Local supermarkets including Morrison’s, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Co-Op stores donated items which the charity then distributed to staff through their annual ‘festive treats trolley’.
The charity also received backing from the local community after asking groups, businesses and Trust staff to fundraise.
Alextra Accountants, Northwich Radio, Pickmere Extra Care, Minshulls Nurseries and many more held festive fundraising to boost the appeals total.
Carole Salmon, MCH Charity Community Fundraiser, said: “We were delighted to receive so much support from the local community not only in fundraising donations but also a wealth of toys, gifts and treats.
“Our Lost Little Ones appeal is already almost half way to the 100k target which wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of local businesses, members of the public and trust staff .”
