Working so closely with children and families every day allows us to see the day-to-day challenges they face throughout their journey, and during long stays in hospital with your child, one big challenge for parents is feeding themselves.
While meals are provided for patients as standard by the NHS, meals for parents aren’t. Getting healthy food can become expensive, time-consuming and one more thing parents shouldn’t have to worry about. 💭
Since it was introduced in 2024, our meal service for families, Champ’s Pantry, has become a huge source of support. Each day our team delivers healthy ready meals, dried goods, fresh fruit and snacks to parents at the hospital, so they can stay by their child’s side.
From the 9th September 2025 to 31st December 2025, Champ’s Pantry provided 638 meals to over 105 family members, a snapshot of its huge impact.
This vital service is generously supported by The Albie Sugden Foundation , founded in loving memory of Albie. 💚
