Children enjoyed a fun-filled day of Easter activities at The Nook. The event was organised for siblings who are either bereaved or have a brother or sister receiving care from East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH). The group featured a range of ages and highlights included decorating chocolate eggs. EACH Family Support Practitioner Katie Chapman said: “All the siblings had a fun day and enjoyed getting to know each other. “They loved decorating their chocolate eggs, making wreaths and completing an egg hunt together. “They also made their own pizzas, which they got to have for lunch.” The event was supported by volunteers Sarah Dixon and Jackie Creighton. EACH runs sibling days during the school holidays, for children aged five upwards. “They allow siblings to come together, have fun and make friends in a safe environment,” added Katie. “It’s a time for them to get together and meet others in similar situations to themselves.” EACH supports families and cares for children and young people with life-threatening conditions across Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex. In addition to The Nook, it also has hospices in Milton, near Cambridge, and The Treehouse, in Ipswich. Image credits EACH
