Today we welcomed a very special guest to the Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust thanks to Pinkertons Club 🏍️🩷🧡

Pinkertons are celebrating their 35th edition of their annual toy run, which gifts toys to children on the Children’s Unit at GWH at Christmas.

To celebrate this incredible milestone, a special toy run was done today with a VIF (Very Important Fox) in attendance 🤩

Basil Brush helped transport toys up to the ward and then spent time entertaining & putting a smile on everyone’s face - he was brilliant!

Keep an eye on our socials over the next few days as we share more images & videos of Basil’s visit to GWH with Pinkertons Club 🩷
