Shannice's Shopping Trip
Shannice aged just 16 was fighting cancer & one of her last wishes was to have a shopping trip with her mum.
Unfortunately Shannice became to ill to leave the house so we were asked to help.
We brought the shops to Shannice, she had a clothes rail full of things for her to choose from, we provided lunch for everyone & had a wonderful photographer (Laura Cope from Just Shoot Me Photography www.just-shoot-me.co.uk) who came & captured some very special moments...

Teddy Bears Picnic
July 2013 we held a party for the children under the care of the nurses, we picked the hottest day of the year & we were all happy to hear the hall had air conditioning :-)
We had a soft play area, we had Cha Cha Chimps attend which everyone enjoyed, facepainting & to help make memories we did hand or feet painting on tiles & canvases.
We also had a best dressed bear competition & we could believe how many bears attended.
Everyone had a brilliant time & we can't wait for next years summer party.
