11 children into the Matts Mission Children's Charity - Making Smiles Glow Sanctuary of Smiles Hub Matt's Mission Children's Charity today. Marnie came over from having cancer treatment at the hospital.
The children made rice crispy chocolate cakes in the chef aprons and melted chocolate and made chocolate flowers and frogs.
They enjoyed doing Glitter character hand prints and play doh and making pens in the crafts area as well as Pampering, Gaming, Sand area, Music Corner, Kids Gym, the Sensory room, reading in the book corner, building lego, playing with the toy kitchen and toys, the arcade and the teens chilled in the Teens area and made tik tok videos and played games.
Another lovely and busy day, the children literally come from the hospital feeling tired and they soon have a glowing smile and energy and none of them ever want to leave.
We also had Winnie in yesterday who came from having treatment and is also going through cancer, full of energy playing with her siblings. It's so lovely to get amazing feedback from the parents and see the difference being made.
Cleaning being done and setting up for another busy and fun day on Friday as we have a SEND charity coming in with 15 children. The sensory room is ready and the sensory table for the children to feel all the different textures and see the different lights.
