Spike the Hedgehog makes a big difference

Sophie needed a liver transplant before her first birthday and spent long months in hospital.

“When your child is in hospital for months, it’s the little things that make the hardest days easier.”

— Sarah, Sophie’s mum

When you take Spike the Hedgehog home from your local Tesco store, you are helping us bring play, comfort and joy to sick children staying in hospital.
