Programme – Patient Information Day 14th October 2023

The Children’s Heart Association is our local North West Charity that does an awful lot to support families who have a child with congenital heart problems. They put on  ‘Pizza with Elves’ events on 10^th and 11^th December. These are fantastic events that everyone seems to enjoy. They are a good way for new families to meet other families and to access the support that the charity can offer.
