Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, care, and creativity.
One act of kindness can spark hope, change a day, and even transform a life. 💛This video shares a heartfelt moment as handmade dolls are donated to Croydon University Hospital, bringing comfort and joy to children in their care. Every stitch represents love, compassion, and a commitment to making a difference.
The Kiwanis Club of Croydon is thrilled with our recent collaboration with the Croydon University Hospital.
Our Dolls in Hospitals project was a heartwarming success, and we hope to continue providing support for the fantastic people who make up our Health Services.
These Kiwanis dolls are far more than simple toys; they serve as a vital bridge between young patients and their medical teams. The dolls provide a comforting blank canvas that allows doctors and nurses to demonstrate upcoming procedures—showing exactly where a bandage or injection will go—which helps demystify treatment and significantly reduces a child’s anxiety.
By allowing the children to color and personalize their dolls, this initiative transforms a clinical medical experience into one of ownership and creativity, offering a much-needed friend to hold during their time of recovery.
The Kiwanis Club of Croydon recently had the pleasure of volunteering at the Peppermint Children’s Centre, dedicating a day to tidying up the garden and play area. It was incredibly rewarding to work together, clearing weeds, planting new flowers, and generally sprucing up the outdoor space. We hope our efforts have created a more vibrant and welcoming environment for the children to play and learn in.
Here we have a few “Before” and “After” shots of the garden and play area.
The Kiwanis Club of Croydon expresses Its sincerest thanks to all members, Supporters and friends.
Through your contributions, the Kiwanis Club of Croydon was able to deliver 188 gift bags to the Croydon Refugee Day Centre located on Whitehorse Road in Croydon.
This is an amazing achievement, and your continued support allows us to continue to fulfil our mission to serve the children within our community of Croydon.
Once again, a big thank you to all. Here are some pictures taken today with Lucy the family support coordinator and Reem one of the centre’s volunteers.
Here we thank Reverend Eben Nai and Reverend Mrs. Julie Nai and Esther Bella from the Action Chapel UK Church in Thornton Heath for their very kind donation of £300
