Young at Heart is a registered charity set up in 1982 to offer help and support to families of babies and children diagnosed with heart defects. All these children and their families have spent many weeks/months in hospital undergoing major heart surgery.
A few weeks ago our Young Ambassador Alfie did a team talk at @WFCOfficial and mentioned a very special little gir Freya who was going through a time at Birmingham Children’s Hospital and needed 2 open heart surgeries within 1 week.
Es'Mai is the big sister to heart Freya ⚽️
Today Es'Mai will walk out the mighty Saddlers Walsall FC Official against Doncaster Rovers.
Everyone at Young at Heart hopes thar Es'Mai and her family have a lovely day today.
Thank you to everyone at @WFCFoundation_ for all your support
GO SADDLERS ⚽️

This week we held 3 separate first aid courses, for heart children and their siblings.
The first course was for the 3-6 year olds, then 7-11 year old, then we finished off with 12-18years old.
Great day had by all, and now 60 children have received first aid training 😀

Fantastic thank you @WFCOfficial and @Walsall FC Foundation.
Well done to Lily ❤️⚽️
🏟️ One of today's Community Mascot is 6 year-old Lily!
Lily unfortunately suffers from a complex heart condition but is still a massive football fan and has always wanted to walk out onto a pitch with a professional team.
We are happy to offer Lily this opportunity!
