To make this happen, hospital volunteers are again collecting (brand new only) flannelette, button-up pyjama sets - with tags and fire safety labels - in sizes 1 to 16.
The PJs help bring comfort, dignity, and a sense of normality to kids during their hospital stay.
They are also handy for children to change into after any accidents on the ward or after a seizure.
One young patient recently said: "The pyjamas made me feel like I was home – and not in a scary place."
Every flannelette, button-up pair donated helps make the hospital feel less clinical and more comforting, says volunteer co-ordinator Louise Hoban-Watson.
“Pyjamas aren’t just practical - they bring back a little joy, dignity and warmth.”
- If you can contribute, drop off the pyjamas to the Christchurch Hospital reception, the volunteers' office, or look out for the WayFinder volunteers in blue.
