🛋️ Love the sofa. Just don’t move in with it.
A few small tweaks can make a big difference to how your back feels this Christmas. Save this for later or share with a fellow sofa-lover 🎄😄

Huge thank you to all of our patients who donated a gift to Hampshire Hospitals Charity fundraiser this year! Everything is so gratefully received! ⭐🥰

A huge thank you to all our supporting charities and their generous donors for the incredible support you’ve shown to our patients and staff throughout the year. 💙

We’re especially grateful for the thoughtful gifts delivered by Hampshire Hospitals Charity to our wards ahead of Christmas Day, bringing comfort and joy to our patients when they need it most. 🎁✨

As Omiko Orji, Clinical Matron on D4, shared:

“These presents make a big difference to our patients who will be away from their families on Christmas Day. Waking in the morning and seeing the gifts will put big smiles on their faces.” 😊🎅

Your kindness truly helps make a difficult time feel a little brighter. 💙

Today we had the pleasure of dropping off some presents to ACE Andover Community Engage — a small gesture to support the incredible work they do for people across our local community.

These gifts were made possible thanks to the kindness of one of our patients, who very generously donated them to us with the sole intention of helping others. Acts like this remind us just how thoughtful and caring our community really is.

A huge thank you to Andover Community Engage for everything you do, and to our wonderful patient for their generosity. Kindness has a wonderful way of travelling — and we’re just glad to help it along its way. 💙

The noise of sibling arguments can be draining, but these conflicts are a crucial training ground for social skills. Instead of jumping in to assign blame, learn to act as a neutral coach.

Your role isn't to solve the problem for your children, but to guide them toward finding their own solution.

By helping each child feel heard and giving them the language to express their needs respectfully, you empower them to build vital skills in negotiation, empathy, and problem-solving.

Discover how turning conflict into a collaborative effort can transform a messy fight into a moment of connection and growth.

Every parent has moments of regret, but what you do after you've made a mistake is more important than being perfect. This is the rupture and repair cycle, a powerful tool for building a secure relationship with your child.

By taking ownership of your actions and offering a sincere apology, you model emotional regulation and show your child that everyone makes mistakes—and that love is unconditional.

Learn how a simple, direct apology can be one of the most profound ways to rebuild trust and strengthen your bond after a moment of conflict.

🌿 If you or someone you love is navigating grief, you’re not alone.
We’re incredibly fortunate in Andover to have the Countess of Brecknock Hospice Bereavement Service, offering support groups and one-to-one sessions for adults coping with loss.

Their team provides a safe, understanding space to talk, listen and simply be — no pressure, no expectations.

If you know someone who may benefit, direct them to the 'Grief Space Andover' page on the hospice's website.

Reaching out is brave, but it can be the first step toward feeling supported again. 💙
