The visits – to Armidale on Tuesday and Tamworth yesterday – were made possible with funding from the Greater Charitable Foundation, which allows the captains to visit the hospitals four times a year.

During this week’s visits, the first of the year, the dynamic duo shone some light into the lives of sick children, with activities like face painting, card games, singing and balloon-making, as well as sharing some special Easter treats.

Greater Building Society staff accompanied the sparkling pair during the three-hour visits.
