Stepping Hill Children's Emergency Department - Toys for Distraction

The new Children’s Emergency Department at Stepping Hill Hospital is in need of toys and activities to distract and calm the 25,000 children that they treat each year.

These items will help to alleviate fear by distraction and help pass the time waiting for treatments.
