This year’s Father Christmas visit had to be virtual, with some somewhat unexpected results! We hope you enjoy this short video
It was all worth it when we received this lovely message the following day
I’m just writing to say a heartfelt thank you. My son has been in and out of St George’s since the end of November and I’ve just picked him up for home leave for Christmas. He was genuinely so thrilled to get his present from you this morning, and I was so touched as his Mum too.
Thank you so much and wishing you the merriest of Christmases.
We are very happy that this December we have been able to help out Poole Hospital who, as well as standard requests such as new beds for visiting parents, had an unusual request…
We would love ceramic mugs with lids for parents to use for hot drinks. We struggle to buy them as they are not seen as essential but help greatly in reducing spill risks and the possibility of scalds. These needs 100 plus mugs, This would be top of our list. I am currently trying to source theses for a cost but am struggling to find anything. I have been able to find bamboo mugs but these can transfer heat easily and not all are dishwasher safe.

In true Blandford/Parish style, it is now tricky to keep him quiet. Yesterday was the 10km run that I have been talking about. Imanaged to drag…
The Christian Blandford Fund made a significant contribution toward this amazing new garden at St George’s. It is a wonderful private space for children to get away from the wards. Mark Owen was very kind to come and open it. He was fantastic, signing loads of autographs, posing for photos, visiting the wards, and presenting…
We have been given the green light to go ahead with the refurbishment of the children’s wards at St George’s Hospital in Tooting. The work will start in March with Nicholls ward and The Pinckney Ward, where Christian spent a lot of time, will come next. We are very proud to say that the Christian…
The chemotherapy went ahead at The Royal Marsden today. Unfortunately there was a complication with one of the three drugs. One of them is a slow drip over 4 hours and the needle slipped out of his portacath in the last few minutes and leaked into him. Bizarrely enough the chemotherapy is far more dangerous…
Thank you!!1
