Cricket fun at Gobowen spinal clinic
Cricket Shropshire held a Christmas celebration at the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Hospital at Gobowen with the Spinal Clinic, welcoming around 20 participants for a fun, inclusive session filled with Christmas-themed cricket games and plenty of laughter.
The Board has been delivering sessions at the hospital for the past two years, using cricket as an alternative way to support patients through movement, confidence and connection.
It has been incredible to see people socialising, having fun, knowing they aren’t alone, and being reminded that there are still opportunities to participate and feel part of something.
As part of the celebration, Christmas presents were given to everyone who took part. Remaining gifts were donated to The League of Friends at the Heart of RJAH, helping to spread festive cheer more widely.
Cricket Shropshire Development Administrator Vanessa Russell said: “I was amazed by the atmosphere in the room.
“Seeing people come together, support one another and enjoy themselves through cricket was really special. It’s a powerful reminder of how sport can bring people together, lift spirits and create a genuine sense of belonging.”
This programme is funded through the Peter Harrison Foundation, whose support helps make sessions like this possible.
Thank you to everyone at Gobowen Hospital and The League of Friends at the Heart of RJAH for the continued support — we’re proud to be part of something that makes a real difference.
