THE PHA UK
PHAMILY WEEKEND IS BACK! WE’VE TEAMED UP WITH GREAT ORMOND STREET CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL (GOSH) TO HOST ANOTHER SPECIAL FUN WEEKEND IN OXFORDSHIRE, AND WE’D LOVE YOU TO JOIN US.
T
aking place at the beautiful Heythrop Park Hotel in Enstone on bank holiday weekend 8th - 10th May 2020, the focus will be on fun and friendship, with plenty of activities on offer for both young children and teenagers. The event, which is fully funded by the PHA UK, provides a unique opportunity to meet other families outside of the hospital setting. This year’s space theme incorporates a large mobile planetarium and families are encouraged to embrace space-themed fancy dress for the gala dinner. Former teachers Malcolm and Vee Willis have been involved in PHA UK conferences since 2001 and have been in charge of children’s activities for five years.
What's on...
Malcolm said: “Families can relax knowing that everything is provided for them and the children are in the safe hands of adults that many have come to know. Everyone gets their own private space – adults can join in, but they can also go off and have some time out if they want to.” The weekend allows connections to be made and friendships to be formed, and children can talk to others in similar situations - which is important for siblings too. Malcolm added: “For children who have PH, it’s a chance for them to see they are not on their own. It’s about giving families time and space. It’s wonderful to hear the conversations and see the smiling faces; that’s what makes it so special.”
