Peterborough United bring festive cheer to children in hospital at Christmas
Peterborough United teamed up with Smyths Toys to bring festive cheer to children who spent Christmas in hospital.
Once again, the club paid a visit to the Amazon Children's Ward at the Peterborough City Hospital to drop off a number of presents for young people, thanks to a large donation from the store in Boongate.
Chief Executive Dawn Gore, who was present for the visit by Mascot Peter Burrow, Head of Media and Marketing Joe Fletcher and Community Manager Emily Purbrick, said: “We are grateful to Smyths Toys for all their help and support in helping with our annual visit to the Amazon Ward.
"I saw first hand last year on my first visit as CEO how much of an impact our visits make and although circumstances this year didn't allow for us to go onto the ward, we know that the gifts will make a big difference."
Peterborough Smyths Toys Store Manager Martin Lawrence added: "We’re absolutely buzzing at Smyths Toys to be working with Peterborough United Football Club to help spread smiles at the Amazon Children’s Ward. Seeing the joy on the children’s faces makes it all.”
