HRH The Princess of Wales sends special message to Evelina London

A special message from our Patron, HRH The Princess of Wales, in recognition of the 20th anniversary our children's hospital building.

As Patron of Evelina, I'm delighted to join everyone at Evelina London Children's Hospital in celebrating the anniversary of its iconic hospital building.

Over the past two decades, this extraordinary space has enabled Evelina London to care for nearly three times as many children and young people as when it first opened. It is a place that symbolises love, healing and hope and has had such an impact on countless lives.

As I know from my visits, the building's bright, welcoming spaces and wonderful light-filled atrium ensure children feel safe, supported and nurtured as they face whatever challenges lie ahead.

What makes this building so special is the remarkable staff, whose compassion and expertise shine through in every corner of the hospital, and create an environment where families feel cared for and uplifted.

Looking ahead, I am filled with hope for Evelina's future. As it continues to grow, even more children will benefit from the world-class care that defines Evelina, a place where healing begins with connection, and every child is cherished.

Catherine.
