Essex Police bring joy to children at south Essex hospice with visit

Officers stopped by Little Havens, part of Havens Hospices, to meet children and their families, giving them the chance to sit in a police car, switch on the sirens, and experience a close-up look at policing. Little Havens, based in Thundersley, provides specialist care and support for children with complex or life-limiting conditions. As part of Havens hospices, the charity offers respite, symptom management, and end-of-life care, ensuring families receive essential support during difficult times.

The visit from Essex Police brought joy to the children, creating a memorable experience. Events like these help lift spirits, giving families a chance to enjoy special moments together. A spokesman for Havens Hospices added: "The children and their families had the opportunity to meet the police officers, sit in their police car, and even had the chance to turn on the sirens and lights themselves.
