We provide interactive mobile gaming solutions, technology, and equipment to sick children and young people in hospitals.

TheRockinR
We are a registered charity in England and Wales 1178420, Scotland SC049525. Founded in May 2018, in memory of Reece ‘TheRockinR’ Miree. Our goal is to promote distraction and normality while minimising the effects of isolation, stress, and anxiety through the power of gaming,

Who We Are
After losing our 11-year-old son in March 2018 to a DIPG brain tumour, TheRockinR was Reece’s online gamer-tag. Throughout Reece’s hospital visits, we identified there were specific ways interactive gaming could help many patients.

Our Work
We help reduce the impact of hospitalisation on young patients and their families by offering a welcome distraction to treatments and procedures by promoting well-being, social interaction while maintaining a sense of joy and contentment.

Why It's Important
Medical treatments can often be a scary and isolating experience, especially for children. There is a particular need for age-appropriate coping tools in hospitals. Interactive gaming offers a vast range of benefits throughout the medical environment.
WE’RE HELPING 232,140+ CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE PER YEAR!
Helping healthcare professionals communicate more effectively with young patients by allowing access to activities that remove children and young people from the constraints and anxieties that often surround the hospital environment.

our inspiration
Reece’s love for gaming was the inspiration behind the charity. Throughout Reece’s hospital visits, we identified specific ways interactive gaming and technology could help young patients
Six weeks into Reece’s terminal diagnosis, he told us, “how he would someday put his name on the map.” Sadly, just seven months later, he lost his precious life to brain cancer.
17th May 2018, TheRockinR was founded. We now provide a welcome distraction, fun and smiles to children and young patients. With over 100 Medical Gaming Carts distributed throughout UK hospitals, for sure,
Reece is putting his name on the map.
medical gaming carts
Our Gaming Carts are custom-built for the medical environment. The carts are incredibly durable, mobile and designed to be easily cleaned, helping to promote infection control.
Each cart helps healthcare professionals, play specialists, and play facilitators provide much-needed play and recreation to children and young people who are immobile, spending time in the hospital, or visiting as an outpatient.
Pre-loaded Games
Eliminate lost or damaged media. All games are pre-loaded onto the gaming console, ready to play, reducing the risk of theft and loss, no need for extra storage and minimises clutter.
Fully Height Adjustable
Use sitting or standing, ideal for wheelchair access and over the bed applications
Secure and Lockable
Key lockable, which secures the gaming console and the two wireless controllers, helps reduce the risk of theft and loss.

These Gaming Carts are such a fantastic distraction for children awaiting surgery or receiving treatment …Fifi LOVES the Lego game on this – she smiles and laughs when she’s surfing on a pig’s back
I’ve wheeled it into her room a few times when she’s “bored” in the evening, and it makes her happy x. On the 4th of September 2018, Fifi was happily playing this while we felt sick with apprehension about the biopsy surgery.
The most important thing is the kids smiling and being happy, and Reece’s family have done a fabulous job in their son’s name xx
