Our Appeals
Bringing comfort to bereaved families
When Hadice (pictured right) died at just ten years old, her mum Kamala was left devastated. We gave Kamala a Heartbeat Bear, which contains a recording of Hadice’s heartbeat. Kamala sleeps with it at night and it brings her some comfort as she comes to terms with her heart-breaking loss.
We want to provide all bereaved families with Heartbeat Bears when their child dies. Will you help fund a Heartbeat Bear?
Sanctuary Garden
Whittington Hospital urgently needs a safe, accessible, and stimulating outdoor space for our most vulnerable patients. With charitable support, we will turn an unsafe, unused courtyard into a tranquil garden bringing seasonal colour and access to nature.
Transforming our Children’s Ward
A visit to hospital can be stressful, and it’s even more daunting for children. We want to make our paediatrics department more welcoming and child-friendly by funding improvements to the environment that will have a positive impact on the wellbeing of our youngest patients.
Thanks to your donations, we’ve already made a great start.
We’ve completely transformed a room used to care for children in mental health crisis and we’ve created a new ‘chill-out’ space for adolescent patients. We’ve also purchased a VR headset that provides a calming distraction for children undergoing medical procedures.
We’re now making plans to refurbish the sensory room, but there’s so much more we need to do.
We’re reliant on charitable donations to bring our vision to life.
