Natalie visited the Ward yesterday morning to drop off over 100 crocheted dinosaurs! 🦕 🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕

With help from her family, colleagues at DEFRA who donated from across the country and Wollaton craft group, Natalie was able to donate over 100!

These 🦕 wil be given to patients who stay in overnight and would benefit from some additional comfort. 🤗🤗🤗

Thank you to everyone who took the time to crochet. 🧶

We had a lovely visit from Pip and her parents earlier this week to drop off a HUGE donation of gifts for the ward!

Everything was purchased by the family as a thank you, as their baby daughter was admitted earlier this year and they wanted to give back.

We are very grateful and the gifts will make a real difference to the patients on the ward! 🤗🙏🤩
