Charity puts smiles on children’s faces

Hugs from Henry have generously donated 150 Easter eggs to the children’s wards at Derriford Hospital.

After appealing to the public, a total of 600 eggs were donated, which will be shared between Derriford Hospital, Jeremiahs Journey, Children's Hospice South West, Bristol Royal Hospital for Children and CLIC Sargent, Homes from Home.

Elsbeth Hallam, Henry’s mum said: “It gives us great pleasure to be able to give back to people that need it, after all of the kindness that people have shown to us. I would like to thank the public for their generosity, I can’t believe the total amount that we received!

“The Children & Young People's Outpatient Department at Derriford Hospital have been such a great support to my family. They are a lovely team and are like an extended family to us. We now hope to be able to carry on giving back every year.”

Helen Little, Ward Manager for Wildgoose and the Children and Young People's Outpatients Department said: “We would like to thank Hugs from Henry for their kindness. Children really love receiving Easter eggs and it will be great to put a smile on their faces.”
