Wonder Wards
helped
Wonder Wards are so pleased to have raised and presented £1087.19 to the Sick Children’s Trust to renovate their Homes from Home.
The Sick Children’s Trust provide families with homes from home, so that they have somewhere to stay whilst their sick child is staying, or being treated, in a hospital far from their residential home.
Wonder Wards granted the funds to re-decorate and supply new dolls and toys for their Stevenson House Playroom, in London.

Alfie (11)
Alfie was born with severe heart conditions.
In 2022, after Alfie had his third open heart surgery, his family were told any further surgery could be fatal. On top of what was already an unbearable situation for any family, this news was devastating.
