Players deliver Easter joy to Wembley Children's Ward

Players from our Under-23s and Spurs Ladies teams visited the paediatric ward of Northwick Park Hospital, Wembley, to deliver chocolate eggs to the patients ahead of the Easter weekend.

George Marsh, Jaden Brown, Shannon Moloney and Ronnell Humes met patients and their families, spending time talking to them and answering their questions.

It is the latest example of how the Club has been actively working throughout the local community in the London Borough of Brent during its season at Wembley.

Just last week, over 400 local people turned out for the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation’s second Jobs Fair held at the National Stadium within the space of a year.

Spurs Ladies player Shannon said: “It means a lot to us to be able to come to hospitals like this and meet the children on the ward. We hope that spending time talking to them helps to take their mind off things and helps to support them during their recovery.”

Under-23s midfielder George said: “Although the children we visited today are going through really tough times, they were delighted to see us and see the gifts we had brought them. We send them our best wishes and hope that they get better soon as it’s never nice to be stuck in hospital during the holidays.”

Gemma Warren, Play Worker at Northwick Park Hospital, said: “We are delighted to welcome players from Tottenham Hotspur to ‘Jack’s Place’ Children’s Ward today. Being in hospital is always a difficult time for patients and their families, especially around the holiday period. Visits like these are so special for the children and help to keep a smile on their faces.”
