Training
Day and Thank You Lunch
Our
Annual Hospital Ward Grandparent Scheme Training Day and
Thank You Lunch was once again held at AJ's Cafe at Westmead.
Sandra
Pengilly, Head of Play Therapy Department at the Children's
Hospital at Westmead provided some ideas for our ward grandparents
to use when visiting special needs children. We had lots
of laughs as she let us play with some of the toys she brought
along. She even had everyone singing a nursery rhyme.....no
we didn't serve any alcoholic drinks!!!!
Susan
Khanna, Social Worker at the Children's Hospital at Westmead
spoke about the impact of working with seriously ill children.
The issues raised and experiences shared by our ward grandparents
proved very valuable to our new volunteers.

Prof
David Bennett, our very talented President, entertained
everyone with a piano rendition before thanking our tireless
and dedicated volunteers and new ward grandparent badges
were handed out afterwards. We hope to give all our volunteers
who were unable to attend this year's training day the new
badge early next year.
Once
again, our deepest thanks to our ward grandparents. Your
dedication provides a much needed and appreciated service
to children and families in hospital.
