The team is looking for advent calendars including Free From calendars, chocolate calendars and activity advent calendars, all of which will go to children in hospitals in the area.

They are also hoping to receive toy donations which will be given out in hospitals and they are looking for gifts such as fidget toys, arts and crafts, pencils, pens, Amazon vouchers, adult colouring books, water painting, Lego, card games, toiletries, pyjamas for adults and children and underwear.
