Every year, thousands of children have to come to hospital. Again, and again, and again.
For them, Christmas can feel like just another day.
For families who have to come to hospital, month in month out, things don’t change just because it’s Christmas.
For children like Poppy, hospital appointments replace pantomimes and parties, tablets, medication and injections come before Christmas treats, and families stuff hospital bags instead of stockings.
For them, Christmas can feel like just another day.
Alongside the wonderful NHS teams, ECHC is there every step of the way, working tirelessly to help seriously ill children and their families facing potentially life-changing hospital visits.
Will you be there too?
I know the hospital helps me, but I feel sad when I have to miss doing stuff with my friends, especially at Christmas time. I wish I could go to parties and pantos and sing in the choir.
