Pat from County Durham and Darlington NHS Trust Charity contacted me to ask if we could possibly help them surprise a young patient in the children's ward at Darlington Memorial Hospital who would be spending her 5th birthday in hospital. She has been in traction all through lockdown with only her mum staying with her.
The charity arranged a special tea party to be held outside the main hospital and we were happy to donate a unicorn birthday cake, balloons and magazines to help the little girl celebrate safely with her family.
