A Heartfelt Thank You: Over 100 Pairs of Pyjamas Donated by Chester, Wirral & North Wales Puddle Ducks
At Puddle Ducks Chester, Wirral & North Wales, community spirit and generosity have always been at the heart of what we do. In 2024, this spirit shone brightly as we joined forces with the incredible charity, Children’s Hospital Pyjamas, to support poorly and less fortunate children across the UK. We are thrilled to share that, together, we collected over 100 pairs of pyjamas for this heart warming cause.
Your Kindness Made a Real Difference
Thanks to the kindness, generosity, and support of our Puddle Ducks families, we played a small but vital part in a monumental effort. Across the UK, Children’s Hospital Pyjamas distributed an astounding 28,850 pairs of pyjamas to children in need in 294 different locations, including hospitals, hospices, and refuges. This incredible achievement simply would not have been possible without the compassion and support of communities like ours.
