I had the pleasure of visiting St George’s Hospital recently to chat with patients and families about Local Families with Bleeding Disorders (LFWBD) and the work that we do in supporting families.
It was a really enjoyable day – great to be invited, and wonderful to meet the families and staff. There was a relaxed atmosphere, and it was a brilliant chance to spread the word about what we’ve been up to at LFWBD and what’s coming up next.
I spoke about some of the events we’ve held recently including our annual picnic, bowling, trips to the zoo, a visit to the Tower of London, Christmas bus rides and more. We’ve had some fantastic feedback from members who’ve told us how valuable these events are for staying connected and informed. We always have a lot of fun and enjoy spending time with others who understand our journeys. Our events are enjoyable and provide valuable opportunities for connection, support and friendship.
It was also a good opportunity to let people know about what’s ahead – including our summer picnic with a circus skills entertainer which is always a hit. We warmly invite more families to join us, whether they have been newly diagnosed or have been navigating life with a bleeding disorder for years.
Thanks again to the team at St George’s for having me – it was great to get out there, meet people, and share the exciting news and updates about the work we’re doing. If you’d like to know more or get involved, we’d love to hear from you! Please feel free to contact us at info@bleeding-disorders.co.uk
