About this event

Create a care package for a child staying at Haven House Children's Hospice to brighten their day, make them smile, and remind them that they are loved!

Our Volunteering Champions will be accepting donations of items for the care packages at the Students' Union Reception from Monday the 3rd - Thursday the 13th of February ahead of the event at 15:00. Haven House are looking for: 

  • An appreciation pack for caregivers of seriously ill children e.g. a handwritten gratitude note, heart shaped chocolates, tea bags, or hot chocolate
  • Kids pack for the children and siblings, e.g. Valentine's Day card handwritten by student volunteers, heart shaped chocolates, origami heart/paper crane (which you can make at our origami workshop!), sweets, Valentine's Day-themed stickers, and a small toy/colouring books/pens

At the event you'll make up a care package and write and decorate a Valentine's Day card to go into your care package. 

We are looking for donations to make this event possible, so please do share this event with your friends, family, and coursemates - anyone you think would be interested in donating items/coming along/both!
