Funds raised from today will be used to supply equipment for play therapy in UHK’s paediatric ward.
The aim of the teddy bear hospital is to ease a child’s stress or worry when going to hospital or seeing a doctor.
It allows children find out more about what doctors, nurses and other medical professionals do.
