"LauraLynn is like a second family to us. We would be lost without their support through very hard and stressful times. They are not nurses and carers to us, they are family."

- Mary, Taylor’s Mum 💛

Thank you so much, Mary, for your kind message. Your words remind us exactly why our work matters so deeply every single day.

Today's thank you Thursday is extra special! Lalitha is a LauraLynn Mum who decided to take the emotional and brave step in taking part in our Locks of Love campaign - raising funds for LauraLynn, while donating her beautiful long hair to a wig charity. Lalitha's dear daughter Tanishka was cared for by the team in LauraLynn and sadly died in 2024. Lalitha wanted to honour her daughter's memory in this special way. You can see Tanishka here with her best friend Minnie Mouse 💕

Lalitha said: "It was overwhelming for me to learn that I'm the first mom to take part in Locks of Love. It definitely made me happy to do such a thing for Lauralynn in honouring my child Tanishka, which is so meaningful to me and my family. And of course, the whole process of donating hair and raising funds was quite an emotional journey for me. It was only possible because of all the beautiful people around me who gave their love and support consistently. I would like to say my sincere thanks to all the kind souls who generously donated for this meaningful cause. Their help and support truly made a difference.

I would also like to give my heartfelt thanks to LauraLynn's amazing staff for their commendable care, support and service to the brave children with life-limiting conditions and their families. I believe they are all ANGELS in disguise."

We want to say a sincere thanks to Lalitha for supporting LauraLynn in memory of beautiful Tanishka. 💗

Our beautiful Christmas tree in reception has its own little story this year. It was donated by a lovely man who arrived with the tree, all of the lights and every decoration.

As soon as it was lit, it became more than a tree. Visitors stopped to admire it, children pointed out their favourite ornaments, and people paused just a little longer in the doorway, taking in the sparkle.

It’s brought so much joy to everyone who’s walked through our doors this Christmas season. How beautiful is it… ✨🎄💙

Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, and their cheerful elf helper made a very special stop, arriving in style aboard the Bumbalance! 🐝🎅✨

They brought plenty of festive cheer, shared smiles and laughter, and helped create magical moments we’ll treasure this Christmas season.

Wishing everyone a joyful and happy Christmas Day! 💙
