Temple Street’s little patients get into the Halloween spirit for ‘Trick or Treat’
Temple Street Foundation has launched its annual ‘Trick or Treat for Temple Street’ campaign, proudly supported by MiWadi. A fangtastic Halloween party was held in the beloved children’s hospital where a gaggle of tiny dinosaurs, monsters and superheroes gathered to kick off the Halloween fundraiser. Temple Street is encouraging people all over the country – kids, adults, schools and workplaces – to host their own Halloween party and raise vital funds. And make no ‘bones’ about it: the money raised from this year’s Trick or Treat for Temple Street, will have a hugely positive impact on the children’s hospital. The funds raised will help to upgrade and replace specialised equipment from cardiac monitors to incubators and much more besides.
