Superhero day
Superheroes were out in force at Brian House Children’s Hospice when the finale of national Children’s Hospice Week saw staff, volunteers and local schoolchildren joining in the fun. There were heroes of all shapes and sizes, from Mutant Ninja Turtles, to Danger Mouse and Cat Woman, though for some people their heroes were closer to home – a much loved mum, dad or grandma. Schools from across the Fylde Coast have been supporting Children’s Hospice Week and representatives from several called in to see their artwork, which is now displayed in the Hospice Chapel – where it covers an entire wall! Several schools and businesses also helped by contributing bags of unwanted clothing, books and bric a brac, to be sold in Trinity’s Fylde Coast shops. Lisa Martin, Community Fundraiser said: “It has been lovely to have the support and enthusiasm of so many local schools. Their artwork has made a fantastic display and the children who visited us were very pleased to see their efforts on show. “Children’s Hospice Week is all about raising the profile of the children’s hospice movement, and this year has had the support of HRH the Duchess of Cambridge, who did her very first video message this week in support of children’s hospices.”
