Christmas came early for three children cared for by Julia’s House, when Father Christmas from the Dolphin Shopping Centre’s grotto paid a special visit to Dorset’s only children’s hospice, located in Corfe Mullen.
He dropped in on 19 November and Seren, (2), Alicia, (3), and Kieran, (2), were thrilled to meet the merry man.
The children were also delighted with the fantastic presents, chosen especially for them.
Linda Jones, Julia’s House Carer, commented: “Father Christmas coming to the hospice is fantastic and we are so grateful. No matter how sick the children are, they love to see him and this is the only opportunity that they will get to see him as most are too sick to visit the grotto. To make the effort to come all the way up here with such spot on presents for the children is great.”
