Our new giant wooden building block game had its first outing today! Great fun, plus we used it to ask questions about the children’s hospital #play #play inhospital

Supported by our play team, children on Gate 46 have been making poppies today as an act of remembrance, in honour of our Armed Forces community, past and present ❤

Over the last week we have delivered Halloween arts, crafts and pumpkins to all 9 hospitals we look after. It is so important for children not to miss out when in hospital. What are you doing this Halloween? #sophieslegacy #playinhospital #HappyHalloween
