Stockley Park would like to invite you to donate a gift for a member of one of the following charities:

• YMCA St Paul’s Group
• Hillingdon Hospitals Charity

Many are not fortunate enough to receive a gift from a loved one this Christmas and we would like for them to know they are not forgotten. Working with both the YMCA St Pauls and Hillingdon Hospitals Charity, we have compiled a list of items which can be donated, providing a gift for those who may be in a vulnerable point in life.

YMCA St Paul’s Group

The YMCA St Paul’s Group is based in Hayes and provides housing for young people whilst supporting families in the local community. Many of those who rely on the YMCA will not receive gifts this Christmas as they may have little in way of a support network around them.

We ask for gifts which can be given to the following demographics:

• Gifts suitable for children, aged 1 – 11 years
• Gifts suitable for young adults, aged 16 – 25 years

Hillingdon Hospitals Charity

For Hillingdon Hospitals Charity, we will be supporting the patients of the TOPAZ Team. The TOPAZ midwifery team works with mothers who have complex psychological and/or additional social needs throughout their pregnancy and postnatal period.

Items for the mother:

• Washbag
• Hand soap
• Shower gel
• Toothbrush & Toothpaste
