Children do help to keep all of us young

that while raising money for families with seriously-ill children in hospital. The

Sick Children’s Trust annual Pyjama Party is back this October and is great fun for children (and adults too!) and we’re asking nurseries, playgroups and schools in the local community to take part.

It’s really easy to get involved: children just need to pick their favourite pyjamas and get sponsored to wear them for the whole day!

We’ll send everyone who’s interested a free fundraising pack with lots of activity ideas! You could even slip on your slippers or wear your onesie to work and do the same.

By taking part, you’ll be helping to keep thousands of families together with their sick child whilst they undergo lifesaving treatment. Get your free fundraising pack by emailing pyjamaparty@sickchildrenstrust.org or call 020 7638 4066 and take part this month.

Jen Pringle (pictured left) Presenter Channel 5’s Milkshake IT was lovely to watch the new programme on TV called Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds, filmed at Lark Hill retirement village, a few minutes from where I live in Clifton.

It was nice to see the young and the old getting along together, playing games, decorating biscuits and dancing.

It just goes to show age is no barrier, even the golden generation is young at heart.

I hope they keep visiting as it’s something for the residents to look forward to.

Forget the knitting and the crosswords, bring in the kids. Gladys Faircloth, Rochester Walk
