Our Health Play Specialists know how vitally important play is for every child, but especially those in hospital. Through their work, they normalise the hospital experience, support the children, young people and their families through difficult times, and make the hospital less scary.
One hour with a Health Play Specialist can help a seriously-ill child through simple, but sometimes scary procedures like blood tests. Want to make your purchase go further? Add a Stress Hammer or a Soft Cuddly Teddy Bear, so our Health Play Specialists have everything they need.
How we help
Life in hospital isn’t easy, especially when you’re young. Suddenly you find yourself in a strange and lonely place full of unfamiliar sights and sounds. It can be really scary, so we support frontline health staff and arrange Boost Boxes, Distraction Boxes, pantomimes and our Starlight Play Week to help seriously ill children be themselves and feel less alone.
What you get
You will receive a Certificate of Play for you to download and share, so your loved ones can see how their gift is making a difference for the children we support in hospital.
