The Dudley Group NHS Charity is launching a Christmas Shoebox Appeal to support children in hospital.
Many children admitted to Russells Hall Hospital's Children’s Ward often arrive with few or no personal belongings.
The appeal aims to provide children with essential items to help improve their hospital stay.

Donations of new socks, underwear, baby grows, vests, pyjamas, outfits, and toiletries are being sought.
The everyday items, while simple, can significantly improve a child's experience during difficult times.
Donations can be made via the charity's JustGiving page or by purchasing items from the wish list, which can then be dropped off at the main entrance of the hospital.
Items can be delivered Monday to Friday, between 8.30am and 4.30pm.
More information about the appeal and other fundraising opportunities can be found by contacting dgft.fundraising@nhs.net.
