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. The department sees children from 0-15 suffering from a variety of medical and surgical conditions, injuries and mental health crisis. Children attending the Emergency Department (ED) can find it a scary and unsettling experience and the wait for treatment long and boring. The ED team would like to make the waiting room bright and welcoming with the addition of an aquatic bubble tube and wall mounted activity boards. These items will help to alleviate fear by distraction and help pass the time waiting for treatments.

“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.”
