The 371-bedded hospital has been designed so that all departments are close to the equipment and support that they need.
Charles Camilleri Foundation donned its Father Christmas outfit to donate digital toys, including iPads and Xbox 360s to the children's hosptial.
Salford-based property developer FreshStart Living established the Charles Camilleri Foundation in 2011 as charitable organisation providing grants for budding entrepreneurs in Salford and Greater Manchester, as well as offering assistance to charities in the local area.
The brand new gifts donated to Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital charity included five iPad 2s, six Xbox 360, four 32” Flat Screen TVs with built in DVD Player, five PlayStation 3s, four Nintendo 3ds, and one Nintendo Wii, totalling £7,000.
Charles Camilleri Foundation trustees’ Philip Wright and John Camilleri, nephew of the late Charles Camilleri, delivered the gifts to children in the Teen Zone.
Philip Wright, trustee Charles Camilleri Foundation and director of FreshStart Living, said: “On behalf of the Charles Camilleri Foundation we would like to wish a very happy Christmas to the children at RMCH.
“Being in hospital is never fun and we hope these gifts will help pass what is often an extremely difficult time for these young people.
“The staff at the hospital do a fantastic job and Charles Camilleri Foundation is proud to support them.”
Maurice Watkins, Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital charity Chairman said, “Being in hospital can be quite distressing for a child especially over the festive period. The donation of toys, computer games and TVs will offer a welcome distraction to our patients while they are being treated.”
