A restaurant has provided a fleet of toy cars for children to play with at Royal Blackburn Hospital.

The donation by MyLahore was made to the charity of East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust, ELHT&Me. 

If they are able to, children undergoing surgery will be invited to take one of the cars to the operating theatre.

The donation was made to the charity of East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust, ELHT&Me. 

Head of charity, Denise Gee, said: “The thoughtful donation from MyLahore will undoubtedly bring smiles to the faces of our young patients.

"It is heartening to have local businesses like MyLahore actively supporting our work, making a big difference to patient experience.”

The four sit-on cars are now stationed at the children’s ward, ready to patients making their way to theatre.

The charity said the donation ‘reflects a deep understanding of the emotional toll hospital visits can take on families’, particularly when young children are involved.

The aim is provide an element of joy and distraction and create a positive environment for patients.
