This week Claire Chircop made yet another 'Because You Matter' visit to the UK!🇬🇧

Claire is spending time with patients and their families receiving treatment abroad, offering support, connection, and a reminder that they are not alone. Along the way, thoughtful gifts brought smiles and a little piece of home to those she met.

A special thank you to BOV for their continued support and for the wonderful gifts provided for our service users.

Thank you to Strand Palace Agencies Ltd - Malta, GO, MitaCares, JF Group, Elmo Insurance and the Ministry for Social Policy and Children’s Rights for helping us continue this important work.

From moments of reflection at Great Ormond Street Hospital's chapel and visiting patients at their residences, to sharing conversations and small acts of kindness, every visit reminds us why Because You Matter exists🩵
