Earlier this week, just like every Christmas, our Esh Group Eagles Newcastle squad took time out to visit the Children’s Heart Unit at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle to meet the patients and staff, and drop off some early presents from Santa.

The Freeman Hospital is one of only two hospitals in the UK performing heart transplants for babies and children.

Everyone at the Eagles wish all the patients, their families and the fantastic staff on the Children’s Heart Unit all the very best for the festive period.
