SUPERJOSH founder Dawn Fidler brings you her latest blog

PLEASE can you help SuperJosh support children in Hospital?

I know first hand how important it is to help support our children’s and young people’s hospital wards with play and entertainment packages.

It would be amazing if we could donate one to each Hospital in the North West over the next couple of months.

If anyone would like to donate entertainment devices such as Ipads, Xboxes, PS4s and Nintendo Switches, DVDs or funds to enable us to buy these items for poorly children in our local hospitals, please get in touch.

One of the many ways we help children and families across the region is by providing entertainment packs specifically for the older, teenage children in Hospitals in the North-West.

The packs comprise items such as X-Boxes, TVs and iPads to name but a few.

We find time and again that teenagers in hospitals often fall in-between two services, they are too old for traditional child entertainment, but need more stimulation than that which is provided on an adult ward.

Which 13 year old wants to go to bed at 7pm when the TVs go off?

Our entertainment packs are specifically aimed at children aged 13+ and are distributed within hospitals where we know teenagers can spend a lot of time having treatment.

We know we are filling an important gap that the NHS simply cannot fund.

If you think you can help please take your donations to Europa House, Bury Business Lodge, BL9 5BT, or The Village Hotel, Bury.
