The Big Appeal for Nottingham Children’s Hospital

One thing children know is how to play

Whether it’s a toddler or a teenager, the use of play materials is a really beneficial way to put a patient at ease. By introducing games, books and magazines, play equipment, craft materials or other toys, it can really help young patients cope with their time in hospital.

With your donations, we can fund:

• More play specialists, to support young patients and their families when they are in hospital
• Toys, games and other entertainment which is age appropriate to different young patients
• Improvements to the Youth Room, for the Youth Service
• Play areas both inside and outside, to inspire and entertain both patients and their families
• Books and reading materials, to help children feel calm, settled and at ease when in hospital

Donate today and your money will go directly to help children who are treated here at Nottingham Children’s Hospital.

Children’s Outpatients is the front door to Nottingham Children’s Hospital and sees 1,500 young patients each week – today it needs your support.
