How it Helps

They bring such joy to children in the hospital. Our Gaming Cart has been in constant use in our neuro ward, creating a welcome distraction during some difficult admissions. It has brought patients and families together as they have played against one another, promoting social interaction, mental well-being, distraction and support with rehab.

Louise Play Specialist – Paediatric Neurology Ward

On admission yesterday the lovely staff brought down one of your beautiful Xbox consoles on wheels. His face lit up. My Son was admitted for blurred vision and absent seizures. This gaming machine has been a total lifesaver.

Donna Parent – Pinderfields Hospital

What you have created by providing these carts to us in children’s wards is truly incredible… they bring so much happiness to a patient’s journey that is stressful and difficult and we can’t thank you enough.

Rosanne Play Specialist

I just wanted to let you know what a difference you have made to our hospital visits, and to our lives. The children no longer dread the visits, and they both love the interaction and distraction through gaming. I think what you are doing in Reece’s memory is truly incredible and inspiring. Thank you for making a difference to our lives and so many others.

Sara Parent – Whittington Hospital

This Gaming Cart will make a huge difference to children staying on our ward. We have a games room but often children don’t want to leave their rooms and can get bored easily. This will have a massive benefit to everyone aged between 3-18.

Gemma Play Specialist – University of North Durham (Treetops Ward)
