2nd hand toys and gifts for Red Cross Hospital

It has become customary for us, at the end of each year, to collect any second-hand toys in good condition to distribute to children at Red Cross Hospital.  If you have any such toys and puzzles we would appreciate it if you could wrap them in wrapping paper with a label indicating the age of the recipient as well as whether it is intended for a girl or boy.  These gifts can be handed in at reception.
