Open day at Liverpool Heart and Chest hospital for people with learning disabilities.

Open day at Liverpool Heart and Chest hospital for people with learning disabilities.

The cardiac network ran an open day at Liverpool Heart and Chest hospital for people with learning disabilities – similar to the Alder Hey one but much quieter.
CHA have contributed to the 4 distraction bags – for AH, LHCH, MRI & RMCH.
Let the cardiac nurses know before your appointment if your child needs reasonable adjustments for their visit to hospital.
Funding the emergency wash kits

Funding the emergency wash kits

Huge thanks to Children’s Heart Association for funding the emergency wash kits for the adults with CHD – these will be shared between LHCH and MRI.
(We also have provided Costa vouchers to AH recently and lots of other bits and bobs to make life a bit easier).
Christmas fun

Christmas fun

Over 100 of us had a wonderful afternoon at our Pizza with Elves party just before Christmas.

It is a fabulous time to make new friends and catch up with old ones too.  We had a mountain of presents courtesy of the Disney Store Manchester and the Hilton.

A big thank you to the staff at The Hilton Airport for dressing up as Elves and treating us so well.

US heart child raises money for us on holiday

US heart child raises money for us on holiday

Ilex is a young girl from Georgia, America who has a heart condition.

Whilst she was visiting her grandmother on the Wirral she asked if she could raise money for a local charity for children with heart conditions.  Her grandma found us and was delighted we were so close.

Ilex and the Mockbeggar Morris Dancers raised a wonderful £40 for us.  A huge thank you to them all.

 

 

Thank you to Retro Festival

Thank you to Retro Festival

A huge thank you to those who raised funds for CHA at the Newark and Newbury Retro Festivals in summer of 2017.  Just look what arrived this week!

These new CoaguChek machines enable blood tests to be done at home instead of a family having to miss work and school for a blood test at hospital.  They are really clever and can connect to a computer for transmitting the results directly to the hospital for dosing.  They will be heading to Alder Hey and Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital in the next couple of weeks

Andy handed over the cheque at our annual Ball of Hearts in November.  Doesn’t he scrub up well !?!

Pantomime fun

We would like to thank NWTAC theatre company for welcoming us at their Babes in the Wood panto in Oldham.  They have some very talented youngsters in their group.

We were made to feel very special as we met the cast afterwards.  And thank you to Mark Barley and AB&S Wholesale for their wonderful donation to CHA
