This weekend, we had the pleasure of hosting a very special afternoon tea at the Covent Garden Hotel in London to say thank you to the incredible nurses who support our families.
At Local Families with Bleeding Disorders (LFWBD), it is really important to us to hold space where we can recognise the care, dedication and kindness these nurses show every day. They are often the first point of contact for families, providing not only medical expertise but also reassurance, guidance and understanding during some of the most challenging moments. They become another family member to many of us, and I know from personal experience, bring much needed support and comfort at difficult times.
Our nurses are a vital part of our community, and the support they provide extends far beyond treatment. They help families feel informed, confident and cared for — something that makes a real difference.
The afternoon was a chance to step away from the hospitals and come together. It was so nice to spend time chatting and saying thank you in person.
We are so grateful to each and every one of them. Thank you for everything you do — this afternoon was just a small way of showing how much you are appreciated.
