The Ben Williams Trust has funded the creation of a ground-breaking new nurse specialist post at the Royal Brompton Hospital, London. Ben’s Nurse provides support to children with arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms) and their families, helping them to learn to live with their conditions and in some cases the threat of sudden death. The Trust also supports youth cricket, with a particular emphasis on wicketkeeping.

You can find out more about a typical Monday and a typical week in the life of Catherine Renwick, Ben’s Nurse, in two articles that she has written for us.
