Interact Spends Christmas with Victoria Hospital

On Wednesday 29 November, we launched a project which marked the start of a year long involvement with Victoria Hospital by holding a Christmas party for the children who would not be returning to their own homes for their Christmas Celebrations.. We thought it appropriate to share some of the remarkable images from this moving and joyous occasion.

But clearly, the highlight of the afternoon was when Father Christmas arrived!

Apart from the presents they received from Father Christmas, the chilren were given balloons, balls and bubbles. We sang, we danced, we painted faces. Pin the nose on the clown" and "pass the parcel" reminded us of the games we had played so enthusiastically at our own parties.

It was an extraordinary afternoon for all of us. Our joy was deepened after this party when we were allowed to go through to the baby’s ward – we held them, loved them and changed their nappies for them.

Interact has had Christmas at Victoria Hospital just a little earlier this year. We are the richer for it.
