After a busy Christmas period, we would like to take some time to say thank you!

The week before Christmas we were very lucky to have lots of visitors who kindly donated to the Ward. Gifts for patients, parents, carers and staff-which have been distributed across our hospital.

As a Ward we are always grateful to the individuals, families, organisations and businesses that choose to support us. We appreciate the time, effort and generosity that goes into a donation-especially at a time of year when funds might be limited for some.

From all the children and young people on the Ward, their families, the nurses and doctors, our CNA’s and Play Team we say THANK YOU 🙏
