The Paediatric Unit at Calderdale Royal Infirmary treats over 8,000 babies and children each year. Often parents and siblings accompany children on the visits to hospital and wait while treatment is administered. A number of patients staying on the unit have additional needs and require stimulation during their time on the ward.

The unit has asked for our help to create a room that will provide both a quiet space for difficult and sensitive conversations between clinicians and parents and also offer a sensory and stimulating play area for patients and visiting children. The installation of sensory lighting, projected visual effects and activity wall panels will make a huge difference to their experience of hospital. A bubble tube, mirrors and some sensory toys will complete the room, which could also be used to calm and distract agitated patients.

The total cost of providing this equipment is £568.63.

“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.”
