Brave eight-year-old Malachi Tyler from Tunbridge Wells made a deep impression on the Archbishop of Canterbury when he showed him round Demelza Hospice Care for Children at Bobbing in Kent.
The Most Rev Justin Welby, a patron of the charity, and his wife admired the ease and confidence shown by Malachi, who is blind and suffers from hydrocephalus, a build-up of fluid on the brain.
The Archbishop, who took part in music therapy with some of the children and tried out the soft play area, computer and sensory rooms, said he had been ‘blown away’ by the experience.
