Our Senior Social Work, Caroline Black said:

Thank you so much to those who have sorted this out for us. We are very grateful for anything which supports our work especially toys and crafts which are so imperative in our work with children. We have had limited stock for a while so this will help us immensely next year.

We work with children who have loved ones with a terminal illness or who are bereaved of a loved one who has been known to Salisbury Hospice. We use toys and crafts to help build a relationship with children so they will open up to us to talk about their feelings but also to help them open up using play and creativity. We know that the work we do really helps children deal with what is happening around them and also often their parents who worry about their children at a time when they’re also dealing with their own emotions. This donation will make a massive difference so thank you!
