Sheffield Children's Hospital

For many years, Scott Anson Painters and Decorators Ltd has supported the Sheffield’s Children Hospital. The money that the charity raises goes towards equipment that the NHS does not cover, such as life-saving equipment, funding vital research and providing a comfortable environment for the patients and their families.  Money raised in 2017, allowed a multi functional defibrillator to be designed specifically for children, allowing the correct impulse to be given to children dependent on their size.

The work of this chairty is so important to make sure that the patients feel as 'at home' as possible, so that they forget where they are. This is done by using the donations for distraction toys, swimming aids in the hydrotherapy pool, Giggle Doctors, portable sensory units, and playrooms.

 

A play tower has been installed in the new wards at the Hospital this year, which brings a distraction by creating something exciting and adventurous.

Within the new ward, 72 beds were installed, some being shared and others being single rooms, with new entertainment systems within the single bedrooms. This allows an individualisation for the children allowing them to feel comfortable as well as allowing the parents to feel relaxed.

Artfelt has also been a large part of the new wing, bringing a bright colour and adding commissioned artwork to distract the children as well as being an interaction while waiting.

We are proud to continue to support this charity, and are excited to see them continue to grow and gain strength to support the patients and their families.
