Make sure no child misses out on Christmas
“I will always be thankful to Rockinghorse for putting a smile on my face and allowing me to make memories over a difficult Christmas.”
Tom, who spent Christmas in the Royal Alex.
Every December thousands of children make a trip to the Emergency Department at the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital in Brighton. Whether it’s a quick visit after a bump or break, or the start of a longer stay for ongoing treatment, being in hospital during the Christmas period isn’t fun for anyone.
But just like every year, we want to be there to help these families and make their experience of being in hospital better than they could imagine.
Find out more about how you can help here.
Without your help we couldn’t continue to support more than 380,000 children each year. There are loads of ways to get involved – find out how below
