Rays of Sunshine deliver unforgettable day at England Lionesses Camp

Friday 19 Jun 2026

Our wishes partners, Rays of Sunshine, provide families of children with life-limiting conditions once in a life-time opportunities to meet our teams at St. George's Park.  

Ahead of the matches against Ukraine and Spain, families headed to The National Football Centre to watch England Women train up close. After seeing the Lionesses put through their paces, the children were given the chance to meet the players, collecting autographs, posing for photos and sharing special moments with their heroes. 

Lucy Bronze and Hannah Hampton were among the standout favourites, while Jill Scott, as always, had everyone laughing, bringing her trademark energy and helping to make the day even more memorable for the children and their families. 

From the training pitch to the autograph queue, there were smiles throughout the day as the families enjoyed a behind-the-scenes experience with the European champions. For the children and their loved ones, it was a day full of unforgettable memories that will last long after the final whistle.
