“We do whatever we need to do to make Christmas at GOSH magical!'
Staying in hospital at Christmas can be a worrying and stressful time for sick children and their families, so everyone goes above and beyond to create a home from home for those children whose treatment needs to continue over the festive period. The wards are adorned with decorations, windows are painted with festive scenes, and there are lots of Christmas trees and Christmas lights.
“We do whatever we need to do to make magical!" adds Sallyanne, "As well as decorating the wards, we write letters to Santa with the children, have parties and make sure everyone has an advent calendar. There is lots of dressing up, lots of singing Christmas songs, lots of games and activities, lots and lots of selection boxes!”
“We help to collect and deliver Christmas presents for all children and young people that will be here on Christmas Day. We make up stockings for everyone, with all the usual Christmas Eve traditional gifts such as new pyjamas, a book, chocolates. There are even little gifts for the parents as well.
