A HAMPSHIRE firm is taking action to bring smiles to the faces of poorly youngsters.

Choice Financial Solutions has teamed up with staff at Southampton General Hospital to transform the treatment room on the children’s ward.

The Southampton Hospital Charity’s G4 Ward Fund needs to raise £30,000 to fully revamp the room, which is used by young patients undergoing medical procedures.

To get the cash rolling in, the company has embarked on making a charity calendar but needs the help of other local businesses to ensure its success.

Clare Stephens, from Choice Financial Solutions, said: “We initially wanted to pay for a Christmas party but after a tour of the ward we realised we just couldn’t walk away without doing more.

“This is a lot of money so we would appreciate any support from other businesses to help make this calendar a success.”
