Sussex cricketers and Rob Andrew spread festive cheer during hospital visit


Sussex County Cricket Club | 18th December, 2019

Sussex cricketers and staff from the Sussex Cricket Foundation (SCF) visited The Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital in Brighton on Wednesday to spread some festive cheer.

Tymal Mills, Will Beer, Harry Finch, Aaron Thomason, Tom Haines and Will Sheffield were joined by SCF staff, Sussex Cricket Chief Executive, Rob Andrew, and mascots, Sid and Sandy, to deliver cuddly toys to the wards and A&E.

Speaking during the visit, Mills said: “Being in hospital is never nice – especially at Christmas – but the staff, families and of course, the children here were very inspiring.

“It’s tough, but they’re all incredibly strong. The kids were lovely and it was a privilege to visit and put some smiles on faces.

“We’re in a very lucky position as cricketers, and it’s one we should never take for granted. Visiting today and giving out some gifts was our pleasure – although I think Sid and Sandy were the real stars!”
