We collect brand new pairs of pyjamas for children and young people, aged between new-born and 18 years old. The pyjamas are distributed to hospitals, hospices, hospital at home teams and women's refuges throughout the UK. They are then given to children who are poorly or disadvantaged.

We are often asked why pyjamas are needed, as the expectation is they should be provided by parents or care givers. Here are some examples of why we donate pyjamas:

• Children may arrive in A&E having had their clothing damaged, or in situations when there hasn’t been time to pack essentials. They may have their own pyjamas but need a fresh pair due to illness or accident. We also provide pyjamas so that children attending hospital, via social services, have new pyjamas, as they might not own any.

• In refuges, children may have fled a dangerous situation and might not have any clothing, so we offer pyjamas for comfort. • Our donated pyjamas have also been used to dress children who have passed away, so their families can see them looking comfortable and at peace.
