When a rucksack is more than a rucksack….
“You’ve saved the day!” said the owner of this rucksack. He arrived with only the clothes he was wearing, and no underwear. “Thank you so much for your support” said the young woman without clothes because she has lost so much weight in cancer treatment. #UKClothingPoverty comes in many varieties, and in each case the lack of […]

The three sacks of first size and premature packs of clothes from the Mothercare #GiftABundle campaign will be used across both NUH sites for babies born into difficult financial circumstances.
