House has set a new benchmark for
palliative and bereavement care.

ACTIVITY PACKS
Meanwhile, up to 200 children visit
the hospital's Emergency Department
every day. To keep young patients, like
Zaynn, pictured above, entertained as
they wait to see a doctor, the charity

has funded Monkey activity packs
with games, puzzles and more. It
also pays for Giggle 'Doctors' whose
job is to amuse the children while
they wait for treatment.

HOLIDAY TIME
Charitable donations also pay for
patients with chronic or long-term
health conditions to go on adventure
holidays. These children often spend
long periods of time in hospital and,
due to their condition and medication,
holidays away are extremely difficult.
Being able to stay away from home
and participate in activities such as
abseiling, canoeing and horse riding
builds confidence, independence
and introduces some much-needed
normality into these kids' lives. 
