On 18th December Sophy and myself (Faye) visited the children’s ward at the Queens Medical Centre to deliver the books and DVDs that USRA donated from the raffle and door money raised at the recent Christmas Gift Fayre. We would like to pass on a huge thanks from the children staying on the ward and the nurses & care co-ordinators who look after some of the most poorly children in the midlands.

The official photographer was there to take this picture…during the week he had been busy snapping away because the children had visits from the Nottingham Rugby Club and Notts County’s players (including Sven!) and next week will see the arrival of the Nottingham Forest’s players. So we were in good company.

The nurses said that for the DVDs were perfect for the children to keep them entertained during their long stays and for the ones who are very poorly, sometimes all they want is someone to read to them. It was very sad to think that some of the children are going to be away from home this Christmas, so on Monday when the children get to see all the presents for the first time you can be sure that it will be a happy day!

So all that is left to say is thank you once again for supporting the events that help us at USRA to make a difference, not just for the residents locally but for others too.
