In the Children’s Unit at Royal Oldham Hospital, there’s a dedicated space where young patients can step away from the hospital environment and enjoy some much-needed play time. ✨
This wonderful sensory room, delivered by us in 2024, is filled with calming lights, tactile fabrics and interactive features that help children switch off from treatment and enjoy play in a way that feels safe and engaging.
Fully accessible for children of all ages and abilities, the room also plays an important role in supporting both mental and physical rehabilitation during a hospital stay.
We recently met 3-year-old Georgie, who was enjoying the room while recovering from a chest infection. Georgie experiences low oxygen levels and relies on inhalers, so outdoor play can be challenging—but the sensory room gives her a comfortable space to explore and develop at her own pace.
Her mum told us:
“Once she leaves the room, she becomes calmer and more responsive to completing her treatment.”
Thank you to the Zochonis Charitable Trust and to all our generous donors for supporting this project—your kindness helps us create more positive experiences for children like Georgie. 💜
