This is Sophie's legacy

Sophie wanted the following things changed and this will be her legacy in memory of a remarkable young girl who touched so many lives.

Play specialist 7 days a week in hospitals

During Sophie’s many hospital stays, we came to understand the vital role play specialists play on children’s hospital wards.

Improvements to food for children in hospital

Sophie was passionate about improving hospital food for children. She described it as “disgusting”—a powerful statement from a child who genuinely loved food.

Parents to be fed when staying with their child

Feeding parents of children in hospital was one of Sophie’s top priorities. She never understood why a parent staying with their sick child wasn’t also provided a meal.

Health professionals to be trained in childhood cancer

Childhood cancer is the number one cause of death by disease in children under 15, yet there are no dedicated training courses on paediatric cancer for health professionals.

Increase funding in childhood cancer research

Childhood cancers are rarely linked to lifestyle or environmental factors, yet this area continues to receive the least amount of funding and research attention.
