Party brings Christmas cheer to severely ill children

  • Meridian

Hundreds of children with severe illnesses have been treated to a Christmas party in Surrey.

The event is organised by a charity which provides practical and emotional support for families across the South at the toughest of times.

The youngsters enjoyed a visit by Father Christmas and some festive animals, including 13-year-old Brandon Smith.
