When life gets tough or it feels like there's nowhere to turn, Barnardo's is here. We make sure children and young people feel safer, happier and more hopeful by directly supporting them with specialist services across the UK. We have been changing childhoods and changing lives for over 150 years.

Story

I live on Eel Pie Island in Twickenham and have been playing the trumpet since I was four. I often play on my balcony to share my music with people passing by. People have called me The Boy On The Balcony, and sometimes they even join in and clap. 

I will be playing my trumpet in front of hospital receptions every day in the 12 days of Christmas. Come and join in! 

25th December @11.00 Watford General Hospital
26th December @11.00 Hemel Hempstead Hospital, HP2 4AD
27th December @11.00 West Middlesex University Hospital
28th December @11.00 Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, SW10 9NH
29th December @11.00 Charing Cross Hospital
30th December @11.00 St Bartholomew’s Hospital 
31st December @11.00 St Thomas' Hospital, SE1 7EH

1st January 2022 @11.00 Great Ormond Street Hospital

3rd January @11.00 University College Hospital

I will be playing:

  • Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer
  • Jingle Bells
  • Good King Wenceslas
  • Deck the Halls
  • We Wish You a Merry Christmas
  • O Come, All Ye Faithful

That makes 6 songs. If you could donate £6 for a set, or even £1 for each day of Christmas (£12), think what a difference we could make!

Please help me to help children who don't have a warm place to be this Christmas. Thank you for your support.
