We are the charity supporting children with life-threatening immune conditions on Ward 3 at the Great North Children's Hospital in Newcastle Upon Tyne. From the moment they are diagnosed, they must be protected from everyday threats, such as a common cold. We give our little superheroes the best possible chance to make a full recovery and we hope to make life a little easier for families navigating the trauma of a poorly child. While on the ward the children stay with their parent/s, inside a protective "bubble" of clean air, to shield them from infection. It's tough. They go through a long and complex treatment, usually a bone marrow or stem cell transplant. But we don't want them to lose their childhood, and we strongly believe in the power of play, so we fund toys, activities and games which are safe for them. We provide comfort and support to families on the ward, and we fund cutting-edge research which has wide reaching impacts far beyond our "bubble", continuing to improve survival rates for children with an immunodeficiency across the world.
