Easter Grotto

Book your slot to drop off donations to children in hospital over Easter!

We would like to welcome you to our Easter Grotto at Lister Hospital to donate eggs and crafts to poorly children in hospital over the Easter season.

Our EasterGrotto will run from Monday 30 March through to Thursday 2 April, with slots available on each day from 9am to 5pm. Please click 'book' below to secure your booking.

Please ensure donations are:

• Brand new and in original packaging
• Individual donations that can be taken home by a child
• Appropriate for children from 0-16 years old

How to make a cash donation or post a gift instead

If you would like to support our children's ward but can't make our grotto you can donate via our Amazon Wishlist, where gifts will be delivered to the charity to take to the ward and spread joy to patients.

Alternatively you can donate to the Magic of Play team and we can use your kind donations towards toys, games, consoles, iPads and other much needed items to entertain and distract children whilst they are in hospital.

Please arrive promptly at the time of your scheduled visit to allow for the smooth running of the grotto.

We will be able to invite a maximum of 6 visitors per slot to deliver easter eggs and get a picture with our paediatric team if available.

Details regarding the location of the Grotto within Lister Hospital will be sent out to visitors closer to the event.

Please do not visit the hospital site unannounced with gifts if you haven't booked an appointment slot. If you cannot find a suitable appointment please call 01438 285182 or email charity.enh-tr@nhs.net
