Every year I set up donation pages on Amazon so that the staff in our team or members of the public can pick items to donate to our unit that we then give to our patients on Christmas Day. This year I thought it might be easier to set up a go fund me page so that people don’t need to stress about what items to choose to donate! We didn’t get a budget at all last year to go towards gifts for patients and it can be a very lonely time of year for some of them. We are an adult mental health inpatient unit with 9 women and 15 men. We typically buy things like shower gels, face masks, fidget toys and activities that can be used throughout the year with our art therapist and occupational therapy team. We also buy books and items to support people with their diagnosis. We are aiming to create some sensory rooms on our unit soon so will use some of the donation towards items for that as well. Ultimately we just want to create a bit of joy for people that might be feeling the complete opposite and you guys will be a big part of that!
