Gift-filled boxes presented to Darlington Memorial Hospital

Posted on December 23, 2016 by Unknown
SHOEBOXES packed with gifts have been given to the children’s ward in Darlington Memorial Hospital.
This month, pupils in Cockfield Primary School have been filling shoeboxes with presents for youngsters less fortunate then themselves.
They visited the hospital last week to meet Emma Boothe, who works to ensure that children have play facilities while they are undergoing treatment.
They handed over the shoeboxes and the presents that had kindly been donated. A school spokesman said: “Everyone on the ward was so grateful for all of our gifts and they gave us a lovely card to say thank you.
“Being in hospital at Christmas is a very difficult time for patients and their families so we are sure that our kind gifts will help put a smile on lots of faces.”
