Tuning in to needs of sick children...

A SPECIAL gift appeal is underway to help sick children at Hull Royal Infirmary this Christmas.

Radio Rentals Ltd. and Hospital Broadcasting Services for Hull and East Riding have joined forces to bring youngsters in the children's ward a festive treat.

Generous

They are appealing to the public to donate toys and games which will be presented to the children during a fun day at the Infirmary on December 18.

'We are appealing to the people of Hull to be very generous this Christmas and donate some form of gift,' said Sue Mallett, showroom manageress at Radio Rentals in Holderness Road, Hull.

'We are not necessarily looking for cuddly toys because there are older children at the hospital,' she added.

Any new or good quality second-hand toys will be welcomed by the appeal organisers.

These will be shared out among the young patients along with party hats, balloons and sweets.

Radio rentals staff are giving up their free time to take part in the fun day, which will include a special hospital radio broadcast.

Collection

Toys can be left at Radio rentals Ltd. 23/27 Holderness Road, and 9, King Edward Street, and at Queens Gardens, Tower Grange, Bransholme, Hessle and Priory Road police stations.

Hull University and Hull College of Higher Education also have collection points, along with a number of schools in the city.
