Hello! There’s a week left until Christmas and we would love to hit our fundraising target! We’re helping children and young people across the country to have some small luxuries, home comforts and things to make the ward a little brighter! gofundme.com/f/deck-the-ward…

Merry Christmas, from all of us at Deck the Wards! We wish all the best to anyone spending today in hospital, and all those supporting loved ones or caring for young people on CAMHS wards.❤️
⬇️Co-Founder Katie writes about spending Christmas on a psychiatric unit as a teenager. This is where all your money goes - to help young people on CAMHS wards feel loved and special. A huge thanks to everyone who generously supported us this year. 🎁

It's Christmas eve and we wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who donated this year to our go fund me, @MummysGinFund @girlwithbellsandwhistles and @the.thistle.edit who were absolute superstars and raised money on our behalf!
For young people on psychiatric wards, Christmas will feel very different. Our volunteer Daisy has kindly shared her experience of Xmas in hospital. It's an important reminder of how kindness and generosity brings light in the dark of a difficult time.❤️⬇️

Just delivered a car full of gifts from our Christmas appeal for @deckthewards to one of the local CAMHS wards. If you donated a microwaveable animal, hooded blanket or spa-related item, it's in here somewhere!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Ward 1 here we come! Santa has lent us a sleigh for all these excellent goodies. #Christmas
Thank you from the bottom of our ❤️ to the phenomenal support of @GinFund. You single-handedly bought everything on 4 London wishlists and THIS is what your hard work and generosity looks like! These photos don't even scratch the surface...
There are still so many #CAMHS wards up and down the country we haven't helped yet... There's still time for us to reach more children in more hospitals. Please donate and share if you can!

The kettle is on for all our lovely @GinFund elves! We have to resist playing the brand new keyboard for one ward!
These boxes are about to do their bit for #UKCharityWeek, shortly to be lovingly wrapped and filled with all sorts of goodies for local psychiatric wards. We still have so much further to go though - please donate (in pinned) and retweet us if you can!
Thank you so much for your kind donation Sarah! This is totally it - it breaks our hearts that it's treated so differently. For no reason at all. Thanks for helping us do something about it! ❤️
1st donation of my 12 donations of xmas tonight is to @deckthewards
When I worked in a cancer hospital, it was easy to see that there's many (corporate) gifts for young people there, but a lot of people forget about kids in hospital at xmas for mental health Treatment
Wow! @GinFund have donated a brilliant pile of presents, we can’t wait to deliver them! Every item came from wishlists directly from the young people on the wards, we’re proud to make sure we’re getting what they actually want and need on the wards to make Christmas easier!
I’m excellent news we’re nearly halfway towards our fundraising goal! Thank you so much everyone for your donations! There’s still time to share and donate, every little bit helps! The more we raise the more wards we can help! gofundme.com/f/deckthewards2…
This chilly Sunday = cosy socks + hot chocolate. These often come up on wards' wishlists.. If you'd like to help C&YP feel less alone this #Christmas and enable us to support as many CAMHS wards as we can, please do donate to our #GoFundMe pinned ⬆️ Thank you 🙏
Good morning to all our lovely new followers!
If you're not familiar with what we do, we're a lot like those Christmas toy appeals you probably see everywhere around now. Except with some pretty BIG differences. Here's a rundown of how:
4) We also provide boxes during the Spring and Summer school holidays, not just at #Christmas. This is because educational programmes stop during these times, which can make days feel longer and increase boredom, loneliness and frustration.
If you'd like to help, please help us share as far as possible! It makes a different to young people, their parents/loved ones and the staff who care for them. Please #RT our tweets, follow us on Insta and share our #GoFundMe. OR, if you can, donate! 🎁⬇️
