I was outside today waiting for my mum to come out of the doctors when my son was getting agitated and was really upset. He was screaming and a lovely lady came out and gave a toy to my little boy to help calm him down. I cannot thank the lady enough as this really cheered him up and he held the toy all the way home. Thank you so much
