nib Newcastle Knights NRL players continued one of the Club’s most cherished community traditions this week, visiting long-time partner John Hunter Children’s Hospital to help spread some festive cheer.
With the holiday season approaching, the visit aimed to bring joy and comfort to children and families currently facing challenging times.
Players spent the afternoon moving through wards, chatting with young patients and their loved ones, sharing stories, taking photos and signing autographs.
Small gifts were handed out along the way, adding an extra touch of Christmas magic for children spending the festive period in hospital.
For the Knights playing group, the annual visit is a powerful reminder of the Club’s responsibility to its community and the strength shown by families navigating difficult circumstances. The opportunity to brighten someone’s day - even for a moment - remains at the heart of why this tradition is so important.
The Christmas visit forms part of the Club’s broader commitment to giving back, especially during a time of year when many families are doing it tough.
Each year, the Knights proudly stand alongside hospital staff, patients and families, acknowledging the resilience that defines the Hunter community.
As the festive season begins, the Club extends its warmest wishes to all families at John Hunter Children’s Hospital and looks forward to continuing this meaningful partnership for many years to come.
