Story

The fundraising efforts will enable Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital Charity to enhance 10 rooms on the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit. Children who receive treatment on the unit often stay for about six to eight weeks, but some can stay up to six months. During their transplant period, they are nursed in isolation, which means they cannot leave their room and are limited in the number of visitors who can see them. The unit currently has 11 cubicles and 10 of them are painted neutral colours. Children often display artwork on the wall to brighten up the room and decorate the cubicle windows. With the help of colleagues and customers, every room, and two parent rooms, will have a more fun and child-friendly décor which will significantly improve the environment and inpatient experience.  The wellbeing of patients during their hospital stay is key to their recovery and being able to play a role in this is something I am proud of.
