“Thank you to Lin, Mike and everyone at Sophie’s for the amazing facelift at Northbrook Ward and the difference it has made to the children staying there. Our Timmy is back in with another infection and his face just beamed when he saw Tinkerbell and Winnie in his room. For the children who can’t venture out the room or go into the playroom to have their own “Wonderland” in their room is just amazing, it’s made such a difference to our stay this time. The corridors are a children’s paradise full of their favourite characters.
Thank you to everyone raising money for this amazing charity I promise you every single penny is making a huge difference to children right now.”

“Northbrook children’s ward at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital has unveiled a set of murals to celebrate the 10th anniversary of an assessment area.
Artwork adorns the walls of the ward in celebration of Sophie’s Place, a purpose-built area opened in memory of Sophie Barringer.
Reporter Chris Jones, of That’s Hampshire visited the ward to find out more about Sophie and the artwork..”
