A couple of weeks ago staff, patients and families on Ifor Children's Ward were surprised with a special festive visit from players from Arsenals Men’s and Women’s teams.
On Monday 2 December Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard and Jackub Kiwior dropped off gifts to the children on the ward, took photos and signed shirts and headshots. One patient who had broken his arm while wearing his Arsenal shirt had asked his mum to delay going home so that they could sign his cast.

This visit was followed up with another on Friday 6 December from the Women’s team. Alessia Russo, Emily Fox and Laura Wienroither stopped by to spread some festive cheer. A young girl chased after the players to get a hug to thank them for her signed shirt.
Thank you to Arsenal for visiting us spreading joy to those who are in hospital during the festive season.
