A massive THANK YOU to the amazing ROTA Kids at Northfold Community Primary School! 🌟🎁💖

These fantastic pupils did an incredible job rallying their entire school community and organising a brilliant collection of gifts for this year's Give A Gift Appeal 2025.

The generosity shown by everyone at Northfold has been truly heartwarming. These gifts will help bring smiles and festive cheer to children and families across our hospitals this Christmas. 🎄✨

It’s inspiring to see such young people showing such initiative and community spirit. Thank you for making a difference!

A massive THANK YOU to Joe Curran and Dave Bear from Care For Kids! 💙🧸🎅

We were absolutely thrilled to welcome them to the Children’s Ward last week. Their visit brought so much cheer and excitement to the children currently staying with us.

Joe and Dave generously delivered a wonderful selection of presents and delicious Chocolate Santas for every child on the ward. The smiles on their faces say it all! 😊✨

Your kindness makes a real difference to families going through a difficult time, and we are so grateful for your continued support and generosity.

Thank you, Care For Kids, for brightening our day! 🎄🎁

It’s officially MERRY CRISPMAS at Blue Skies! 🎄🥔🏃‍♂️

A massive shoutout to Joe Curran and Dave Bear from Care for Kids for dropping off a giant mountain of crisps today! We decided to share the love (and the crunch) with a little friendly competition.

We announced a “Merry Crispmas” flash dash—the first 40 staff members to run down and wish us a “Merry Crispmas” snagged a free multipack of Golden Wonders for their office! 🏆
Safe to say, our team moves fast when snacks are involved! Thanks again to Joe and Dave for bringing the festive fun! 🩵

🌧️🏃‍♀️ Rain or Shine, the Elves Still Jingle! 🏃‍♂️🌧️

A massive festive shout-out to all the amazing 'elves' who braved the wind and rain at Anchorsholme Park for our annual Blue Skies Elf Run! 🌬️🎄

You all brought the brightest festive spirit, even when the weather tried to dampen ours. Seeing all the smiley faces, bobbing elf hats, and even the four-legged friends (shout out to Elvis and Rizzo) joining the fun made it a truly lovely day! ❤️🐶

From all of us at the charity, thank you for making this event so special. You are all our little superstars!

🌟 Heartwarming Heroes Alert! 🌟

A massive shout-out to absolute superstar Isaac Redfern and his kind-hearted friends in Year 1 at Stalmine Primary School! school for their incredible generosity. 💖👏

Isaac, having spent some time on our Children’s Ward in September recovering from HSP (Henoch-Schönlein purpura), wanted to give something back to say a huge thank you for the wonderful care he received. What an amazing idea!

On Friday the 14th, the whole Year 1 group rallied together and held a non-uniform day at school! The result? A whopping £100 raised! 🤯🎈

These funds will go directly towards buying special gifts for children who will unfortunately have to spend this Christmas with us in the hospital.🎄

🎁 Your thoughtfulness is truly helping to spread some festive cheer where it's needed most!

Thank you, Isaac, your friends, the staff, and the families at Stalmine Primary School! You are all little legends! 💙
