Merry Christmas from The Christian Blandford Fund

We had another magical day at St George’s Hospital, bringing some festive cheer and handing out presents to the children spending Christmas in hospital this year.

You can see all the photos from the day here. Patients and their families can download high-resolution versions for printing and sharing.

A huge thank you to Tracey and her amazing team of play specialists for helping us prepare and making the day run smoothly. We’re also incredibly grateful to Chloe and Hayley, who joined us on the wards to spread joy alongside Father Christmas. Our incredible trustees, Darren and Amy, worked tirelessly to choose and wrap the perfect presents for the children.

This year, we were lucky to have the talented Annie Stevens as our photographer, and as you can see, she captured the day beautifully. Thank you, Annie, for your wonderful work!

Once again, I am in awe of the dedication, kindness, and love shown by the staff at St George’s Hospital. You continue to go above and beyond, often in challenging circumstances, and it’s an inspiration to us all.

If you’d like to help us bring more smiles to children and families at St George’s, please consider making a donation or think of us if you’re planning a fundraising event this year. Every contribution makes a difference.

Merry Christmas from all of us at The Christian Blandford Fund! 🎄✨
