Wishing everyone a fab Play in healthcare week. A week of sharing what play staff do daily to support children and young people to reduce anxiety, promote well being and aid recovery through the power of play @LNWH_NHS @starlight_uk @nahpsofficial

[Gail Manning 💙 @asheroo63]

@IpsHospPlay @Team_ESNEFT Wow, that’s looks fantastic!

[Gail Manning 💙 @asheroo63]

Such a privilege to support Darshil. Thank you @starlight for supporting play for our younger patients @LNWH_NHS

[Starlight @starlight_uk]

77% of hospitals have no budget for play. Many children are having to undergo treatment with no play resources at all.

We're asking for your support so we can bring play to all children in hospital, like Darshil.
