Prior to Christmas, members of the first team squad were joined by Chief Executive Dawn Gore and mascot Peter Burrow at the Amazon Children's Ward to hand out presents to youngsters.
Peterborough United assistant manager Kieran Scarff was joined by first team players Jed Steer, James Dornelly, Rio Adebisi Jack Sparkes, Ryan De Havilland, Abraham Odoh and Malik Mothersille at the Amazon Children's Ward at the Peterborough City Hospital prior to Christmas to deliver presents to the youngsters who unfortunately are spending the festive period away from home.
Dawn Gore, who was making her first visit in her role as Chief Executive, said: "The club have been making this visit at Christmas for a number of years, but this is my first visit and you really see the impact that it has on the children and if we were able to make them just a little bit brighter at a tough time, then that is a great thing to do."
Mascot Peter Burrow was also in attendance, as the club, in conjunction with the Posh Foundation and Smyths Toys, provided presents for both the children currently in hospital but also for the ward too.
Zoe Wilkinson, North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust Play Service Co-ordinator said: “It was, as always, an absolute pleasure to welcome Peterborough United to the Amazon Ward to meet some of young patients and their families.
"The club and the first team players give their time so generously to visit the ward – armed with the most incredible array of gifts – spending time chatting with patients, their families and our staff – really creating a positive buzz around Christmas. Our huge thanks to Peterborough United for their continuous support.”
Press Officer Phil Adlam said: "I have been at the club a long time and this visit has arranged for many years, but you never take for granted just what an impact we can have within the community.
"Like previous years, we have joined forces with the Posh Foundation and Smyths Toys to provide some wonderful presents and we thank them for their continued support."
