At just three days old, tiny Scarlett was fitted with a pacemaker the size of a bottle top after being diagnosed with fetal congenital heart block (CHB) at a 20-week scan.

The rare heart condition means the signals in the heart fail to communicate, often causing an extremely low heart rate.

Baby Scarlett arrived at 34 weeks and was transferred to our Children's Hospital, where she spent the first four weeks of her life recovering from heart surgery.

Now, five months old, Scarlett is at home with her parents and older brothers Harvey and Mason ❤️

Lauren said: “We’ll forever be grateful to everyone involved in our journey, from the Fetal Medicine Team to the transport team and the Cardiology team.

We just wanted to say huge congratulations to an amazing aunt, Natasha Bailey from Stoke-on-Trent, who took on a daily step challenge to thank the doctors and surgeons who saved her baby nephew's life. ♥️

Arthur was just nine days old when he experienced heart failure due to coarctation of the aorta, a serious condition where the main artery from the heart is too narrow and therefore cannot send enough blood around the body.

Arthur was placed into a medical coma in his local hospital then blue lighted to our Children's Hospital, where he was rushed into emergency surgery. After a seven-hour operation on his heart, the surgery was a success, and nine months on, the little boy's made an incredible recovery.

To say thank you to the clinicians who were there for her family, Natasha did 10k steps a day on behalf of our hospital, raising over £1,500 for brave patients like Arthur - thank you Natasha for stepping up for sick kids! 🥾

What a day we had at Villa Park ❤️ ⚽️

Last weekend, we were thrilled to return to Villa Park for our annual takeover. During Aston Villa FC’s home game against Sunderland, we were joined by our incredible team of volunteers to meet and chat with supporters who always give so generously.

Thanks to the kindness of everyone who donated, we raised an amazing £4,175.43 🤩👏

Every penny raised will help us continue to provide transformational care to the sick kids in our hospital.

To everyone who chatted to us and donated, THANK YOU!

Harper rings the end of treatment bell 🔔 ❤️

The special moment marks the end of Harper's treatment for medulloblastoma, a fast-growing cancerous brain tumour.

Her dad, George Gibson, shared: “When Harper rang that bell, it was not just the end of treatment. It was the closing of a chapter that tested us in every possible way. It was relief, pride, gratitude, and a moment that belongs just as much to the people who got her there as it does to us.”

George is currently training to complete a staggering 268-mile run for our charity in June. He will be running The Montane Spine Race, which is widely regarded as one of the toughest endurance races in the world.

Best of luck George!

“We’ll never be able to thank Birmingham Children’s Hospital enough for what they did for Idris. The staff didn’t just care for him — they cared for all of us.”

Idris was just 18 months old when Rhys Ford and his wife, Christine, noticed the whites of Idris's eyes had turned yellow. Blood tests at their local hospital revealed dangerously abnormal liver function and, after weeks of uncertainty, the family were told they needed to take Idris to our Children’s Hospital.

Following further weeks in our hospital and a liver biopsy, Idris was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis type 2, a rare and potentially life-threatening condition. While incurable, the condition can be managed with ongoing treatment. Thankfully, Idris is now a happy, thriving four-year-old boy, who loves to play, and is still under our hospital’s care.

Rhys wanted to give back to the hospital that had taken care of his family, so he took on the Newport Half Marathon on behalf of our Liver Ward, overcoming a knee injury and raising over £1,200 for sick kids. Thank you Rhys for your amazing support! ♥️

What an incredible day at our Behind the Scenes event ❤️🏥

Over the weekend, we had the privilege of opening our doors to showcase just some of the life-changing projects made possible thanks to our amazing charity supporters. From innovative technology to patient wellbeing initiatives, every project on display is helping us do more for our sick kids - and it simply wouldn’t be possible without you.

Here are just a few of the charity-funded projects featured on the day:

✨ Our Cardio team demonstrated how 3D and augmented reality heart models are transforming surgical planning, team training, and the way we communicate complex conditions with families.

✨Our Education team highlighted how simulation equipment is helping healthcare professionals build skills, practise rare scenarios and strengthen teamwork to improve patient care.

✨ Our Hands and Upper Limb team showcased the Amadeo rehabilitation tool, which turns therapy into interactive gameplay - helping children stay engaged while tracking their progress more effectively.

✨ Our Liver team shared how a perfusion system is already supporting life-enhancing transplants, helping more children access surgery sooner.

✨ In Patient Experience, the team brought EnjoyArt to life, showing how creativity, music and bedside activities can reduce stress and improve wellbeing for patients and families.

Other teams who took part included our incredible Spinal team, Speech and Language Therapy, Rheumatology, Play and Youth Services, Anaesthetics, Oncology and Haematology.

To every single fundraiser, donor and supporter - THANK YOU! Your generosity is making a transformational difference to our sick kids and their families when they need it most. ❤️
