June Supporter Update

Welcome to your June update from Nottingham Hospitals Charity. This month you can find out how you’re helping us keep young patients at Nottingham Children’s Hospital calm and distracted during appointments. And we’re sharing the exciting news that the next phase of work on Hayward House palliative care centre has begun, as part of our Hayward House Appeal. 

Rhino Sensory Toy

Helping young patients relax during hospital visits

Thanks to supporters of our Big Appeal, we’ve been able to fund a new sensory trolley to help keep children calm and relaxed during hospital visits.

The activity station is frequently used by children who are having blood taken, to keep them calm and distracted, and contains a variety of fun sensory activities.
