Welcome to the booking site for the Birmingham Children’s Hospital Oncology and Haematology Community Games. 

When booking tickets please book a ticket for every person attending

WHO?

We are excited, that in partnership with Dennis Kennedy from Sutton Coldfield Community Games, we are holding the first Oncology & Haematology Community Games, exclusively for the patients and their families of Birmingham Children’s Hospital. This free event will offer inclusive fun, regardless of age or ability, and allow you to try different sports and physical activities in a safe and friendly environment.

WHEN?

The event will be held on Saturday 28th May 2022 from 12pm-3pm at King Edwards School, Edgbaston Park Road, Birmingham, B15 2UA with multiple events and activities for the children and young people to experience. There is free car parking on site.

WHY?

Physical activity plays a vital role in the physical, social and psychological wellbeing of children and is essential to their on-going care, rehabilitation and long-term health.

Often our patients and families feel that they are not able to participate in activities, including sport – we want to show them that they can and give them an idea of the resources available to them.

WHAT?

Some of the activities will include:

* Canoeing      * Climbing Wall   * Yoga              

* Football        * Martial Arts        * Table Tennis  

* Orienteering * Boxing               * Skiing          

* Boccia           * Volleyball          * Bush Trial

(May be subject to change on the day)
