We are incredibly grateful for the generous donation received this week from 🤍

From blankets and pyjamas to beanies, teddies, preloved clothing, and books, each item will bring comfort, warmth, and care to the children and families we support.

The team also spent time connecting directly with our paediatric surgery wards, sharing moments that remind us just how powerful community support can be.
Thank you for showing up with such kindness and intention. It truly makes a difference.

Surgeons for Little Lives is not a single team, it is a collective of people united by purpose.

Paediatric surgeons working within one of the most demanding environments in healthcare.

Nurses, clinicians and support staff who carry the weight of every case with care and precision.

Donors and partners who choose to invest in something bigger than themselves.
Together, they form a network built on one belief:
That no child should be left behind simply because of their circumstances.

This is what happens when expertise meets compassion and is supported by a community that refuses to accept less.

This Child Protection Week, we are reminded that protecting children is a shared responsibility.

In collaboration with SCAN and the Hospital OT team, this video highlights the importance of awareness, vigilance, and action in safeguarding every child.

Every child deserves to feel safe, seen, and protected.
