Our corporate fundraiser Taisie attended a garden party at Stepping Hill Hospital’s Tree House Children’s Unit this weekend to help celebrate 70 years of the NHS. There was a fantastic  turnout, with children being taught all kinds of useful health skills such as infection prevention, dental hygiene and how to carry out CPR. The children’s mental health team was there talking to people too.

The DJ kept the tunes pumping throughout the course of the afternoon, but the entertainment also included some amazingly talented children and teens getting up to perform songs and dance acts, as well as a Disney princess and a wonderful clown show from our very own Louby Lou. A huge thank you to all the wonderful staff for keeping everyone hydrated and fed with some really tasty treats!

Taisie says: “We loved witnessing the joy  the Tree House Garden that MedEquip4Kids  funded  brings to the children’s ward at Stepping Hill. It’s clearly a great asset, giving  children a sense of normality during their time in hospital, and let’s face it, when the weather is as lovely as this, who wouldn’t want to get outside!”

“This donation has enabled us to use more varied and useful therapeutic toys and games when working with children and young people with mental health difficulties, as well as using extra clinic rooms which are now more child-friendly. This has helped reduced anxiety about coming to CAMHS and meant that family therapy can be done. Both parents of a 10 year old boy can now attend with their 5 year old as the youngest child can play with our new resources in the waiting room or clinic space. The 10 year old benefited from therapeutic games about thoughts/feelings and we were also able to observe imaginative play for assessment.”
