Watford General Hospital welcomed a conveyor belt of stars last month to help spread festive joy and cheer.
On Thursday, December 12, two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua MBE visited the hospital’s Starfish Children’s Ward as part of his work with Clean Herts Community.
Anthony, who was born at the hospital, said: “Today was all about trying to put smiles on a few faces and to acknowledge the tireless work of all NHS staff across the entire nation. I met some amazing kids and some inspirational parents.
“Christmas can be a really tough time of year so it is important to do your bit.”
Then on Wednesday, December 18, Watford goalkeeper and ambassador for West Herts Hospitals Charity, Daniel Bachmann, was joined by defender Mattie Pollock, midfielder Moussa Sissoko, defender Ryan Andrews from the men’s first team, and midfielder Anna Filbey from Watford FC Women’s team on a visit to the hospital.
The players surprised young patients on the Starfish Children’s Ward, handed out gifts, met NHS staff, and brightened the day for the children.
