Play is a vital part of childhood, even more so when a child is receiving treatment in hospital. It offers comfort, promotes recovery, and helps children express their feelings and cope with the challenges of being in a medical environment.

Thank you so much to the wonderful Team BeMoreFab for the amazing boxes of goodies for our children & young people being treated for cancer (and their grown ups) - the treats for the staff were also very much appreciated by Disney Ward!

Team BeMoreFab offer support to children, families and schools affected by cancer, providing tuition for children absent from school due to their treatment, and working alongside schools to ensure that children get the best academic support. They also act as a hub for families to access emotional and social support, and educate the general public.
