Hi everyone,
We have some plans to celebrate in a BIG way in 2014. Not all details are finalised yet but put these dates in your diary, and some events still to be arranged – so we hope there will be something that suits your family.
Check who is organising each event as some events are coordinated by the hospital teams. Many of the events are to be confirmed so keep your eye on our website (heartchild.info/events) and Facebook page (heartchild.info/facebook), get in touch with your local branch, call our helpline or email us for more details.
Free events are those where we only pay for those who arrive on the day. For events where we pay in advance you will be required to pay before the event so we are not left out of pocket.
Please bring your unwanted gifts for use as prizes.

January saw the start of our events for 2014 and to celebrate 40 years as a registered charity we aim to do 40 events throughout the year.
We began with ice skating at Deeside Leisure centre. We had a good turn out and the families had so much fun. There was music to skate too and we had mixed abilities
so all could join in. Thank you to the older children who helped the younger ones.
This was fun for all the family and mum’s and dad’s joined in too – some mum’s and dad’s admitted it was like recapturing their youth.
Happy days.

Saturday 25th January 2014
We had a fun afternoon at Boomerang Sensory play centre in Bury yesterday (Sat 25th Jan).
They have a soft play room with a great slide – Thomas’s mum’s toe is still recovering – and I hear Alfie’s dad had something to do with it too. There is a quiet sensory room where Freddie enjoyed launching himself into the ball pool with clear balls that changed colour with the light below. But my favourite room was the interactive room with noisy touch games on the wall and an interactive mat where you could walk on the piano keys, or chase frogs or jump on the drum kit. The interactive game changed every couple of minutes so no-one got bored. Harry and George had fun there too.
Great to catch up with Dylan’s mum and dad over a cuppa. We’ll definitely do it again sometime.

Last year’s Ball of Hearts took a detour from our usual venue and instead it was hosted under the wings of Concorde at Manchester Airport. Cheshire Life magazine ran a feature on the event.

Our Ball of Hearts is always an enjoyable occasion, there are more photos from this and previous events in our Gallery, and keep an eye on our website for announcements for this year’s Ball of Hearts.
