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
