@ZARA_Care I know it’s Christmas & everyone gets a bit fraught but the store manager at Leeds White Rose was incredible rude today & unhelpful & dismissive with a return. Really disappointed with the customer service & i will be hesitant when ordering online again
We have just flown out to Spain with Jet2.. & I wanted to shout out to the amazing staff on board! Thank you for making the start of our holiday so memorable 🥰 #CaptainTom#Heather@jet2tweets
@USPlayCoalition A4 (2/4) There is a significant lack of understanding about the importance of play for children in hospital and the work of HPS themselves, from the wider team and sometimes families. #WePlayChat@LBUPlayworking
@USPlayCoalition A4 (1/4) The main barrier that children face is their illness/condition, which can instantly make accessing play freely, a huge challenge in itself. #WePlayChat@LBUPlayworking
@USPlayCoalition A2 (3/4) Play is such an important element of a child’s life, and this should not be paused or stopped due to a hospital admission. #WePlayChat@LBUPlayworking
@USPlayCoalition A2 (2/4) Play can allow for restoration of control while providing ways of communicating and understanding an adult’ centric clinical world. #WePlayChat@LBUPlayworking
@USPlayCoalition A2 (1/4) Play becomes a powerful and effective tool for helping children to navigate their way through this new environment. #WePlayChat@LBUPlayworking
