SACKS filled with Secret Santa surprises for young patients have been delivered to Oxford Children’s Hospital by a family of festive fundraisers.
Led by Courtney Hughes, from Didcot, this year marks the 9th time the 21-year-old has handed out thousands of Yuletide gifts to those most in need of some Christmas cheer.

With help from her sister Megan and father Lee, she delivered gifts to babies and children on Robin’s Ward and Tom’s Ward at the Headington hospital on Thursday morning.
Miss Hughes, who is a full-time senior nursing assistant at the John Radcliffe Hospital, started the tradition at age 13 after being inspired by her great-grandmother’s hospital stay.
She has helped deliver more than 50,000 presents.
