We wanted to share this message we received. It really struck us that in 40 years not much has improved for parents in hospital with their children. This is why we will continue to fight for change 💛 #sophieslegacy #creatingchange #feedtheparents

Wonderful National charity @Starlight_uk helps seriously ill children in hospital play & laugh. Please do support them if you can ❤️ support.starlight.org.uk/pla…
77% of hospitals have no budget for play. Many children are having to undergo treatment with no play resources at all. We're asking for your support so we can bring play to all children in hospital, like Darshil. ⭐ Every donation makes a difference: ow.ly/qEs850TqajI
