Join us at Midland Met on Monday 8 December for a day of festivities which will include our Christmas tree lights switch-on.

The festive celebrations will take place in the Winter Garden on Level 5 of the hospital, with a series of performances from local school choirs from 11.30am onwards.

Father Christmas will be visiting the Winter Garden to gift children sweet treats and there will also be entertainment from balloon artists and magicians.

At 5pm, there will be a special performance from the Voice of Hope Cancer Choir, with a cast of 25 cancer patients and carers formed over 30 years ago by five-time cancer survivor Sandra and her choirmaster husband Chris.

Their special performance will be followed by the official Christmas Tree Lights Switch-on at 5.30pm.

Diane Wake, Group Chief Executive of the Trust, who will be turning on the Christmas lights, said: “I’m delighted to be playing this role in bringing some festive cheer to the Midland Met this year.

“I encourage patients, staff and visitors who will be attending the hospital to join us throughout the day as I’m sure the event will lift spirits during this festive season.”

We’re one day into the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence - a global movement calling for hope, action and change.

The reality:
Around 1 in 5 adults has experienced domestic abuse since the age of 16, and an estimated 2.3 million people experience it each year. Behind every number is someone who deserves safety, dignity and support.

Here in Sandwell, the Sandwell Stands programme is now underway with events, workshops and community activities happening across all six towns over the coming days.

Challenge harmful attitudes, start conversations and use your voice to stand up for those around you.

Remember support is always available.

This weekend, 115 children living with long-term conditions along with their siblings and parents joined us for a truly magical day at Chasewater Country Park, where Father Christmas swapped his sleigh for the Santa Express steam train.

Every child had a ‘tree-mendously’ good time, and the Christmas spirit was well and truly on track. From excited faces to endless smiles, it was a day filled with wonder.

A huge thank you to Chasewater Railway for making this festive adventure possible. Your kindness created an unforgettable experience for our young people and their families.

Lisa Hemingsley, Play Specialist said, “Days like these mean everything, for a little while, the children can forget their medical conditions, enjoy some magic, and spend quality time with their families. We’re so grateful to Chasewater Railway for giving them this wonderful escape.”

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas from everyone at the Trust.

I never spoke,
Yet I decided your fate.
I never moved as I sent you through my gate.

Strangers met me only once,
Then off they went,
Not for comfort, not for rest,
But to sort all who stepped inside.

In my wooden embrace,
Every newcomer was sorted.

Within this seat sat the Guardian of the Poor deciding the fate of all who entered the Birmingham Union Workhouse.
