YOUNG patients at the Royal Gwent Hospital's children's wards got some late Christmas surprises courtesy of the members of a Cwmbran health and fitness club.
Members of Esporta, on Avondale Road, responded to a call from club managers for presents and donations towards presents, and dozens were delivered yesterday to patients on Sapphire and Emerald wards.
"We usually do an Easter egg donation but this year we decided to do a Christmas one too, and our members have responded to the challenge," said Esporta corporate membership consultant Ann Bertie.
"They've been really generous. The presents are fabulous and it's lovely to see the children so excited."
