✨ From Christmas kindness to lasting impact ✨

Last Christmas, our incredible community of supporters came together to help fund a sensory unit for the Children's Outpatient Department at the Children's Hospital in Derby.

Thanks to the generosity of local people, businesses, schools and community groups, we reached our £10,000 target and created a portable sensory space that 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐱𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲, 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬.

Music supports NHS staff too.👨‍⚕️🏥🎵

Hospital life can be demanding for staff as well as patients.

During our Wandering Minstrels programme, funded by our charity and Arts Council England, many colleagues told us that live music:

- Reduced stress
- Lifted morale
- Made ward feel less clinical and more welcoming
- Improved atmosphere
- Helped them connect differently with patients

🎶𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬. 𝐈𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.💓

Together, let’s continue to stand strong, spread kindness, and raise awareness. 🌸💞
