CHA have provided portable WiFi for our young people who are staying in the Heart Centre at Manchester Royal Infirmary. It is vital for them to be able to keep in touch with their friends (and some of them even use it to send homework to school we’ve been told). It’s expensive for them to use the hospital televisions so this is a better way for them to get online.
Jane, Anna and Linda are delighted and have reported that one hotspot was immediately put to good use by a lad who’s needing a long stay on the ward.
Thank you to those of you who support us and enable us to make a difference.

We had a lovely time at our annual Pizza with Santa’s Elves lunch at the Hilton Manchester Airport. The staff there are fabulous and the food was even better than last year. We were very grateful to In Kind Direct and Disney’s Share the Magic Campaign for donating our gorgeous Mickey Mouse cuddly figures.
More Mickey Mouse toys were taken to the cardiac outpatient department at Manchester Children’s Hospital to give to any family who visited during the Christmas period.

Our annual Ball of Hearts gets bigger and better each year. This time we are returning to the Crowne Plaza on the waterfront at Liverpool for a sparkling evening of fun and entertainment on Saturday 15th November.
We’ll be starting with goats cheese & red onion tart or melon, followed by chicken breast in red wine and thyme sauce with dauphinoise potatoes or mushroom stroganoff and rice. All finished off with toffee and raspberry meringue.
£45 per person – but our heart youngsters go for free with a paying guest. Minimum age 14 please as this is an adult event to which we invite our older children.
Tickets are selling fast so contact Val soon to book your places.
Now the only problem is which ball gown to choose!
