BARNSLEY Hospital Charity is launching its first activity pack for children and young people attending or staying in hospital.

The packs will provide a valuable resource that will not only engage children and young people; but also support their emotional wellbeing at what can be a challenging time.

A hospital charity spokesperson said: “Thanks for your donations and an idea by Diane, charity volunteer and hard work by Kerrie, our Fundraising Admin Assistant, in researching, designing and creating the book and for helping us make a difference.”

Donations to support the project can be made:
