Unfortunately, the groups were unable to visit the children themselves due to the current health and safety restrictions – but they know the children had smiles on their faces.

With the current circumstances, children at Royal Preston Hospital need happiness more than ever.

A Spokesperson from the Light Foundation said: “We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to Star Tissue UK for such a memorable afternoon, and to the brilliant NHS workers for their ongoing service during difficult times.”

Khalid Saifullah, Managing Director of Star Tissue UK said:
“It was an honour to have partnered with Light Foundation on such a positive cause.

“It was humbling to have helped lift spirits among young people and bring smiles to their faces, at what are very trying times.”
