🌈 Watch this space...

We're excited to share a first look at some of the new wall vinyls that will soon be transforming our Ifor Ward into a brighter, more child-friendly environment. 💙

Funded by Whittington Health Charity, these colourful designs will help make the ward feel less clinical and more welcoming for young patients and their families.

We're still in the early stages, but we couldn't resist sharing a sneak peek of the progress so far!

A huge thank you to our supporters for helping make projects like this possible. We can't wait to show you the finished result.

✨ More updates coming soon...

Michael Palin is very kindly hosting an evening for a cause very close to his heart, with all proceeds going to the The Michael Palin Centre for Stammering, which is supported by Whittington Health Charity.

It promises to be an entertaining evening with stories from a working life like few others – from Monty Python to Small Prophets, to a world very well-travelled – in aid of a cause he has championed for more than 30 years.

Michael talks us through a career that has travelled further than most: the Flying Circus, the films, the journeys from pole to pole, his recent Philippines adventure and Small Prophets, Mackenzie Crook’s BBC comedy and his first television acting role in seven years. Expect the stories you know, a few you don’t, and the warmth that has made him one of Britain’s best-loved storytellers.

Previous events have sold out. Early booking recommended. Link in our bio!

Hi, I’m Katherine and I lead on our public fundraising activity!

My role is incredibly rewarding and varied. I get to meet some very courageous patients - in particular, some very young patients who go through some of the toughest challenges. I love working with patients and clinicians to understand how we can fundraise to make things a better for them. I get to see first-hand the difference that fundraising makes, and of course, we couldn’t do what we do without the support of our generous donors.

Thank you for helping us to make a difference.

🩷 Hadice’s Memory Walk 🩷

Last week, family, friends, charity and hospital staff came together to celebrate Hadice, a courageous little girl who spent much of her life under the care of Whittington Hospital's Children's Ward.

As the sun set over the Heath, we shared memories, tears and laughter, remembering Hadice, a much-loved daughter, sister, granddaughter and friend. Her courage, beautiful smile, and love of Hello Kitty and all things pink brought joy to so many people, and it was a privilege to come together and celebrate the lasting impact she had on all who knew her.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for such a special walk, as well as those who donated. Together, you've raised £900 in Hadice's memory, creating a lasting legacy for Whittington Children's Services.

This World Alzheimer's Day, we're reflecting on the importance of spaces that support wellbeing.

Our new Sanctuary Garden is being created as a peaceful place for patients, families, and staff to spend time in nature, find moments of calm, and connect with loved ones during difficult times.

For people living with dementia and memory-related conditions, access to outdoor spaces can help reduce anxiety and provide meaningful sensory experiences.

Together with our supporters, we're creating a sanctuary for all. 🪴

💙 YOUR DONATIONS MADE THIS POSSIBLE 💙

Earlier this month, the Charity was delighted to support a special day at Kentish Town Farm for families supported by Life Force, our paediatric palliative care team. Families enjoyed meeting the animals, taking part in crafts, and spending time together in a relaxed and supportive environment, while parents were able to participate in a dedicated wellbeing session.

The day was filled with joy and provided families with the opportunity to enjoy a fun and memorable day out together. 🌾🐖

🏃‍♀️🎉 A Huge Thank You to Our Big Half Runners! 🎉🏃‍♂️

Together, our runners raised an incredible £2,555! Thank you so much to all who took part and donated - every mile run and every pound raised helps us continue funding projects that go above and beyond NHS provision, improving experiences for patients, families and staff alike.

Special thanks to Julia (pictured), who was one of our fantastic Team Whittington runners on the day. 👏
