A Stormtrooper escaped the Death Star to spread joy at Naomi House and Jacksplace in Hampshire.
Sent by Darth Vader to spread joy, the Stormtrooper spoke to the children of Naomi House and posed for action shots with the young adults at Jacksplace.
He wasn’t on his best behaviour at all times though, as a he crashed the housekeeping team’s tea break and got into battle with the Family Support team – with Lightsabers of course!
Once full inter-galactic warfare had been avoided, the Stormtrooper did help the catering team with some of the cooking.
The visit was from of Tony from Southampton-based Stormtrooper double act, the Trooperguys who regularly volunteer their time to visit Naomi House & Jacksplace.
The Stormtrooper said: “Naomi House & Jacksplace has always been a charity that means a great deal to us at Trooperguys.
“Over the years, we have seen how the care that they give to the children makes a world of difference to not just the children, but families as a whole. The team are always bubbly and full of enthusiasm and obviously do a great job which is why we love to support them.”
Claire Potterton, Play and Activities Team Leader at Naomi House & Jacksplace, said: “We were absolutely thrilled to be joined by one of the Empire’s Stormtroopers on Star Wars Day itself!
“We love having visitors at Naomi House & Jacksplace who offer a different experience to the families, children and young adults staying. Thank you so much to the Trooperguys for spreading so much joy at our hospices. The force is strong with our young padawans!”
