Do hospital children's wards want used toys?

I have a ton of toys -used but in good condition binning the rubbish stuff that I want to give away.

Does anyone who works in a children's hospital know if they really want stuff like that?

I know my local one asks for donations. Games, puzzles, craft stuff, cars rather than teddies though. I took a couple of board games down when my son was on the ward

We used to take no-longer-used-toys to the local hospital, everything from board games to a Little Tykes kitchen and car. Was many years ago though.

Anyone work in a hospital who knows if they still want toys?

I think every hospital and even each ward have different rules. Have a look on the hospital website I know mine has a donation page listing stuff they’d like

We asked our local hospital, and they will take things that can be cleaned/wiped down easily, or DVDs, games for consoles, but not teddies. Art supplies were also much needed.
