A Lowestoft-based business has spread some Christmas cheer to children and young people who have to stay in hospital over the festive season.
A huge pile of presents has been delivered to the James Paget University Hospital in Gorleston.
With the gifts set to benefit children and young people across the hospital this Christmas, the team at the James Paget has said "a big thank you" to local business Lavish Life Competitions.
An "amazing amount" - around £2,000 worth of gifts - has been shared out between numerous teams around the hospital including the Children’s Ward, The Cove Children’s Clinic and children’s waiting areas in X-Ray, Audiology and Orthopaedics.
A hospital spokesman said: "Some items will be given out to children who have to stay in hospital over the festive season while some of the games, toys and activities will be put to good use in waiting areas and clinics."
With Lavish Life Competitions - based in Lowestoft - providing people around the UK the chance to win prizes via raffles, the company wanted to donate toys to support children and young people across the area.
So they decided to contribute profits from sales and donations to a pot to purchase presents and between Monday, November 27 and Sunday, December 3, all profits from sales, plus extra money provided by the team, were used for toy donations.
The James Paget was one of several beneficiaries as around £2,000 worth of toys, games, books and activity items - all wrapped up and labelled to hand over - was distributed.
The Lavish Life Competitions team visited the hospital to present the gifts to Maxine Taylor, James Paget Hospital charity manager.
Ms Taylor said: "This is just an amazing amount of gifts that will support children and young people across our hospital this Christmas.
"As there were so many, our teams will be sharing these out between individual patients and children’s waiting areas to make sure as many young people as possible can benefit."
