Visit to Tell Tale Books in Longbarn

It was an honour to join 7 year old Alder Hey Charity Youth Ambassador Ivy Scott and her family for tea, cakes and milkshake at the brilliant Tell Tales Books in Longbarn to celebrate a truly brave and remarkable young girl.

Ivy’s incredible fundraising of over £8000 has made a real difference to hundreds of families staying in Alder Hey, an experience Ivy knows all about having had three open heart operations and lengthy stays at the hospital in her young life. Last year she was the youngest recipient of the British Citizen Youth Award medal of honour, which is presented to only a handful of extraordinary young people each year.

Hearing about the amazing fundraising she’s done already and her plans for the future, I couldn’t be prouder to have Ivy as a constituent so it seemed only right to award her the Warrington North Special Recognition Award to say thank you. I hope we can all take some inspiration from her story.
