Just delivered a car full of gifts from our Christmas appeal for @deckthewards to one of the local CAMHS wards. If you donated a microwaveable animal, hooded blanket or spa-related item, it's in here somewhere!

Our 2020 Christmas appeal for @deckthewards resulted in over £1500 of brand new, brilliantly diverse books making their way from @Wonder_Bookshop to CAMHS wards in SE London. If you'd like to donate a couple of quid towards this year's list, click here: wonderlandbookshop.co.uk/pro…

Fri 4th Dec: generous Gin Funders have almost emptied the list!
In this most topsy-turvy of years, a year that has seen the wings of the entire country's teenagers clipped, we wanted at least a few of them to know they matter to the wider world. #5

#GivingTuesday, appeal launched!
Within 2 hours, 5/8 of the list is promised! Feeling encouraged, we add extra goodies including games, shower bars, origami kits, Rubiks cubes & other things that will offer comfort & distraction to those on 'our' adopted ward. #4

Even if you donate what one pint costs, it will help. This year especially, I'm sure you can sympathize with how much it sucks to feel isolated and bored. Please help @deckthewards make a difference to the people on the wards this Christmas. (2/2)

50% of those with lifetime #mentalhealth problems first experience symptoms by the age of 14. This is why early intervention is crucial.
This #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek, help us to shine a spotlight on the importance of young people’s mental health. 💛

Another huge thank you to all who've donated to us so far. The wards are very excited, so thank you!
We've been contacted by some new wards recently and we'd really love to support them too. If you have any spare pennies, we'd be very grateful for them!

Tune in to @BBCBreakfast now to hear @katie_bamburs talk about her brilliant initiative @deckthewards!
They provide young people receiving psychiatric inpatient care with home comforts to make hospitals feel a bit less like hospital, and a bit more like home during the holidays.
