The Florentina’s Footsteps Foundation sign now stands beautifully in place beside the parent’s kitchen on Phoenix Ward at Broomfield Hospital!

To see Florentina’s legacy take its place here is more than symbolic. It is a continuation of her story, one that brings light into moments that need it most. Florentina’s legacy will forever be felt here 🩷🩵🦋

Last Friday we welcomed Florentina's Footsteps to our children’s wards for the very first Florentina’s Feast Friday at Basildon Hospital.

Their much‑loved Friday pizza nights are already a firm favourite at Broomfield Hospital, where families on the children’s ward enjoy donated pizzas thanks to Florentina's mum and charity founder, Amelia and her incredible volunteers.

Created in memory of Florentina, their weekly tradition brings comfort, joy and a moment of normality to young patients and their loved ones.

💐Mother’s Day💐

We had the privilege of spreading a little love this Mother’s Day by delivering gifts to the wonderful mums at Broomfield, Basildon and Southend hospitals. We hope this small gesture made all the mummies on the wards feel appreciated and celebrated today whilst caring for their sick child!

We also hold space in our hearts for the mothers who are missing their children this Mother’s Day. Your love is forever, and today we are sending you so much strength as it can feel even more heavy than usual. You are seen, you are remembered and you are not alone. 🤍

Wishing love to every mother who is carrying love and loss today and always 🩷🩵🦋

🏥Broomfield & Basildon children’s wards🏥

Today marks a truly special moment for Florentina’s Feast Fridays. What began as a simple idea to bring a little comfort and joy has now grown!

We are incredibly excited to share that our very first Florentina’s Feast Friday has now extended out to Basildon Hospital. This is incredible! With all the support that we’ve had we can now supply pizza deliveries every Friday to two hospitals, Broomfield and Basildon which is a great achievement.

We would also like to give a huge thank you to our new Basildon volunteers who are helping us make this happen. We truly couldn’t do this without you all!

This evening at Basildon has been sponsored by Florentina’s Footsteps Foundation. As we continue to grow, we would warmly welcome the support of anyone or any local businesses who may wish to sponsor a future Friday and be part of spreading a little kindness in the hospital. Please do get in touch.

A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful sponsors from Broomfield Hospital, Charlotte and Carl,for supporting this evening and being there to help hand out the pizzas. Your kindness and generosity mean so much.
