TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT! Vital funds raised at our The Big Sleuth Auction this evening will make a HUGE difference to a sick child's stay in hospital. Thanks to kind-hearted supporters - like our sleuthers and bidders - Birmingham Children's Hospital and Charity are able to provide many initiatives to make a child's stay in hospital that bit more bear-able. They say that laughter is the best medicine, so the charity funds Giggle Doctors to come in to see sick kids during their stay! By combining music, play, magic and storytelling, the Giggle Doctors welcome distraction for the sick kids, providing fun, laughter and special moments for children and their families during such difficult and challenging times. Want to know more about where the money raised from is going? Follow Birmingham Children's Hospital and Charity to see the amazing work they do everyday!
