We had the pleasure of taking The Broome Family Trust to visit the Vein Viewers they funded for Stepping Hill Children’s Unit.

These small-but-mighty devices make it quicker and easier for clinicians to find veins—reducing stress, pain, and fear for young patients when having blood tests or cannulas.

In just 8 months, they’ve helped over 1,000 children and received positive feedback from families and staff.

Caroline Stores, Play Therapist at Stepping Hill, says:
“The donation of the AccuVein Viewers has been invaluable. With more first-time successes, we’ve seen less pain and anxiety—making a real difference to children’s hospital experiences.”

We’re so grateful to The Broome Family Trust—and to all our supporters. Your generosity helps transform care for children when they need it most.

“This donation has enabled us to use more varied and useful therapeutic toys and games when working with children and young people with mental health difficulties, as well as using extra clinic rooms which are now more child-friendly. This has helped reduced anxiety about coming to CAMHS and meant that family therapy can be done. Both parents of a 10 year old boy can now attend with their 5 year old as the youngest child can play with our new resources in the waiting room or clinic space. The 10 year old benefited from therapeutic games about thoughts/feelings and we were also able to observe imaginative play for assessment.”
