We had an absolutely brilliant day out at Hobbledown Farm in Epsom with our amazing Local Families with Bleeding Disorders community! A huge thank you to everyone who came along.
The farm is a great venue to bring our families together with children of all ages. Families were able to explore everything from animals and play areas to the fantastic indoor spaces. For many of our children, it was a day of new experiences — climbing, feeding animals and running free in a safe and supportive environment.
As always, one of the highlights is lunch together. This is for many of us, a rare chance for families to sit, chat, and connect. The tipi provided a great venue for this. These shared moments can be just as meaningful as the activities themselves. It is always so heartwarming to see new friendships forming, children finding playmates who understand their world, and parents sharing stories and support.
We’d like to say a huge and very special thank you to Anna, Marie, and Steph especially for organising the day. Your time, effort, and care meant everything ran so smoothly. These events don’t just happen. They are made possible by the hard work and attention to detail of our volunteers. Without them giving their time, these events simply would not be possible or affordable. Similarly, without the fundraising efforts of our community, we would not be able to host such events.
At LFWBD, we believe that these social events are about more than just a day out. They are about building a community, breaking down isolation, and showing our children (and ourselves) that we’re not alone.
We can’t wait for the next event – our annual Christmas lights bus tour on a traditional Routemaster bus. We hope to see even more of you there. Saturday 6th December – bus leaves at 4pm.
Thank you again to everyone who came and made the day so memorable!
