Norwich City FC team visit our children's ward

07 December 2023

 A photo of the group of Norwich City players who visited in our children's ward. The seven young men, who all wear red and white trimmed Santa hats, are smiling at the camera. Two of them are holding presents that are wrapped in Father Christmas gift paper.

It’s become a much-anticipated fixture on the James Paget festive calendar.

The visit of football stars from Norwich City FC always raises a smile with the young patients on our children’s ward - and the staff too.

This year’s visit took place on Wednesday and saw seven Canaries players spread some early Christmas cheer.

Dan Barden, Przemyslaw Placheta, Adam Idah, Christian Fassnacht, Hwang Ui-Jo, Sam McCallum and Liam Gibbs handed out Christmas gifts to patients and their families and took time out to chat to staff on the ward.

Thanks for coming, team NCFC - and Happy Christmas!
