Who We Are
Founded by Reece’s family. After losing our 11-year-old son in March 2018 to a brain tumour known as DIPG. TheRockinR was Reece’s online gamer-tag. Whilst Reece was staying in hospital, we identified there were specific ways interactive games could help children with hospital visits and appointments.
What We Do
We help reduce the impact of hospitalisation and illness in young patients whilst making them and their families feel at ease. By offering a welcome distraction to their procedures and treatments, giving some sense of normality whilst maintaining joy and contentment.
Why it's Important
Undergoing medical treatment can often be a scary & isolating experience, especially for young patients. There is a special need for age-appropriate coping tools in hospitals, interactive gaming offers a huge range of benefits throughout medical environments.
We’re helping 26,280 children and young people per year!
Our goal is to help health and care professionals communicate more effectively with children and young people whilst
