Dear Valued Supporters

As a generous supporter of the Children’s Hospital Trust, we wanted to keep you informed of the necessary measures and precautions we have put in place during the coronavirus pandemic.

In addition to following guidelines prescribed by the President, we support the stringent measures now in place at Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital to protect vulnerable children and their hard-working staff. To ensure we are aligned with the Hospital, the following will be in place for CHT until further notice:

  • No meetings will take place at the Trust offices and unfortunately no physical gifts will be accepted due to the proximity of the Hospital.
  • Discussions and meetings with external stakeholders are taking place via video call to ensure we can continue to support the Hospital, their little patients and the staff.
  • CHT visitors are not able to visit the Hospital until the go ahead is given from the Hospital in the foreseeable future.
  • All CHT events are postponed until further notice.

We will continue to remain in close communication with Hospital Management and will keep you informed of any updates to the COVID-19 response plan. While we work to put measures in place to protect ourselves and those close to us, we must not forget those who are most vulnerable. Please spread kindness amongst those who are less resourced and vulnerable, and not to forget all the hard-working health workers who are at the coal face of this global crisis.

In quoting our President, ‘It is time for solidarity, understanding and compassion.’ As the Children’s Hospital Trust, we thank you for your support and ask you to walk by our side as we continue to support children and their families who need us.

Kind Regards
