We had the pleasure of visiting Stepping Hill’s Treehouse Unit with the brilliant Emma Black, who bought songs and smiles to children on the ward through her musical therapy.

Visiting hospital can be a scary and confusing experience for children, so a little sing-along can provide a welcome distraction from nervous thoughts and long waits!

11-year-old Tyrell, who visits the hospital regularly, said he’d felt worried before coming, but that the music had helped him feel calm and relaxed. Mum added that the music provides a great distraction as well as easing that hospital anxiety.

Thank you to our supporters and donors for helping us make this possible.

You can watch the video of Emma in action here.

“The specialist treatment chairs are a new vital resource for the therapy team and nursing staff to be able to safely and comfortably sit extremely complex, dependant, critical care patients out of bed. The chairs allow us to begin the patient’s rehabilitation journey by providing appropriate postural support at the same time as pressure relief to allow the patient to build the muscle strength to hold themselves up against gravity. This allows them to begin to interact with their environment in a more normal way, enabling them to participate in meaningful activities such as meal times and activities of daily living.”
