We want to ensure that every patient at Addenbrooke's and the Rosie hospitals experiences the highest quality of care available. We raise funds for cutting edge technology, additional specialist staff and extra comforts for patients, over and above what is possible with NHS funding alone.

Story

The Play Team at Addenbrooke's can really help the experiences of children in hospital, making a boring, bewildering or upsetting time more bearable and less stressful. Please help replace tears with a smile by supporting Play at Addenbrooke's.

How you can help:

- £10 could buy small reward toys which are given to anxious children facing challenging procedures in hospital such as blood tests, scans and cannulation; helping them to recover quickly and focus on choosing their reward instead of dwelling on what was difficult

- £25 could buy an electronic game or headphones making hospital more bearable for a teenager stuck in hospital

- £50 could provide half an hour of therapeutic play to help a child about to undergo an MRI scan feel calmer about the procedure ahead
