What a privilege for us to have been invited by a special family to a very special event (post shared with permission), as our team mate and wonderful paediatric cancer nurse, led the occasion through our singing-play.

Getting ready for the day @Bham_Childrens as part of the #EnjoyArt programme of activities. We often sing as we clean (as part of infection control). Sharing 🎶songs in family languages. Cleaning and learning songs.
Yesterday in Parliament, MPs including @alistrathern, Minister Stephanie Peacock & Sir Stephen Timms, pledged to support play in children’s healthcare.
Thanks to all who joined our event and backed Starlight’s mission to put play at the heart of every child’s hospital experience.
Announcing our 2025-26 season, with magical and memorable music by Bach, Briggs, Daniel-Lesur, Duke Ellington, Duruflé, Lalande, Marsh & more.

‘If we suddenly appeared at your hospital bed and asked you if you’d like to sing, what would you say?’ ‘I would say, this would bring me all the joy in the world’

An extra activity @Bham_Childrens today with a group singing session for children and young people. Piano, bass guitar, cajon, and lots of wonderful children and young people singing their hearts out, ‘We are one…’
