Spring is here, and so is the latest edition of Something to Smile About, our regular newsletter that brings you up to date with all our projects, fundraising and events news.
In it you’ll see we’ve recently provided resuscitaires for the maternity unit at Furness General Hospital to help give babies a safe and healthy birth. You can also find out more about the equipment still in need of funding. Simply click on the image below to read the newsletter.
“The switch adapted toys have been a wonderful addition to our school. Both staff and children were thrilled to have some new exciting resources. The children love the lights and movement many of these switch toys have and are highly motivated to explore and investigate how to make them work. They have been great for pupils to develop their understanding of cause and effect and we have also noticed improved concentration and engagement when using them. Often it can be difficult to find toys that are robust enough to withstand lots of heavy use AND be interesting and fun. These new resources tick all those boxes. They have made a noticeable impact on the children’s development in this area.”
