Hi all,
As we’ve said for a while, we have just sent out our LAST EVER paper set of event flyers. They will be arriving through the post in a week or so.
Some things are staying the same – we’ll still be holding our events, but the £500 postal costs for flyers is money that we would rather spend on events. We hope you agree.
To keep hearing about the events YOU WILL NEED TO PROVIDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS either as a new or existing member to say we can contact you.
If you have just been a Facebook friend please join us at https://heartchild.info/web/ for free membership.
If you are already a member please email michele.casey@heartchild.info confirming that its ok to contact you.
We promise we won’t bombard you with emails – and they’ll mainly be about the events we have planned. Though as we start up this new way of contacting people you might get the occasional test email.
So what’s planned? Our events coming up wlll have you climbing the walls, weaving stories and understanding the world. We’ll be burning some calories and also making sure we have plenty of calories to burn. If you’ve got a favourite cuddly toy there’s a special event for them too.
So email Michele or sign-up online to hear about our events!!!!

Fondest memories of Michelle Johnston – a brave and beautiful lady whose smile brightened every room. Ian, Matt, Will and family are in my thoughts.

Many years ago it was rare for heart children to reach adulthood. Now we are delighted that most of our children will have a normal life expectancy. The Children’s Heart Association has chosen to expand to support adults who have grown with their heart condition.
We support the cardiac forum for adults in the North West, providing funds for meetings and social events. On the adult heart unit there isn’t WiFi so we have provided MiFi devices so our young people can stay connected to their friends in the outside world. CHD Adults and their families are welcome to join in with our events, and their experience is vital to those with young children who are just starting their journey with a heart condition.
CHA have been invited to join the team designing the new surgical service at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital in Liverpool. We are listening to what is important to those who will use the service to make sure the new centre is world class.

The lighting effects at RMCH needed a bit of a spruce up. The cardiac staff asked if we could provide something to help with distraction therapy. The projector that was in the room just wasn’t positioned so a good image could be seen so with a bit of reflector wizardry the image can now be positioned anywhere.
They had also asked for a star projector – it has moving green stars and a moving blue nebula cloud behind it. This can be moved to other rooms if required too.
Finally we have bought a wonderful twinkly glove. It has been admired by everyone who has seen it.
Many thanks to Betty, a hospital volunteer at Trafford General, and her fund raising friends “Betty’s Babes”, who heard what the staff had asked for and gave CHA the money to pay for the items.
Oh and in this bottom pic you can see the BP, O2 and ECG machine we bought earlier this year.
