A NEWPORT-BASED charity delivered presents to children and staff across hospitals this Christmas.
On Thursday, December 17, Dreams & Wishes charity spread some festive cheer throughout hospitals in South Wales – including Gwent's newly-opened Grange University Hospital.
Gifts were given to children, nurses and doctors
Dreams & Wishes are based on Cardiff Road in Newport
All gifts were specially wrapped three weeks before delivery, ensuring they were Covid-safe and ready to go. The gifts were handed over outside the hospital entrances and all necessary restrictions were in place.
Gists were also handed over to Swansea Morriston Hospital and “The Christmas House”, Cardiff - fundraising in aid of Dreams & Wishes.
