The afternoon was filled with lots of music, games and laughs including a buffet lunch which was put together by staff on the ward.

The event even had a special visit from Santa in their very own Santas grotto! Each child and baby got a gift from Santa, and everyone left with a huge smile on their face!

Staff organised stalls and games such as guess the name of the gingerbread man and how many sweets in the jar. This raised over £80 which will go back into the wards charitable funds to use towards more patient activities in the future.
