Ulster Rugby players, with the generous support of Bank of Ireland, recently visited the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children, bringing joy, laughter, and inspiration to our young patients.
Last month, we were honoured to welcome the team from Ulster Rugby to the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children, thanks to the generous support of our friends at Bank of Ireland. The visit brought a moment of joy to our young patients, staff, and families, offering a much-needed break from their daily routines.
Ulster Rugby’s players and staff spent the day meeting with our inspiring little heroes, sharing stories, and offering words of encouragement. The excitement was palpable as the children had the chance to engage with some of their favourite players and take part in fun activities that lifted their spirits. There were smiles, laughter, and even a few memorable photos that will be cherished for years to come.
We are incredibly grateful to Ulster Rugby for their time, enthusiasm, and for bringing so much positivity to our wards. A heartfelt thank you also goes to Bank of Ireland for making this special visit possible. Their continued support of Little Heroes enables us to create magical experiences like this, bringing light and hope to children who need it most.
The visit was a reminder of the strength and resilience of our young patients and the incredible support from the community. Our Little Heroes continue to inspire us every day, and we are so thankful to Ulster Rugby for joining us in celebrating these brave children.
