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 new outdoor area will boost mood and morale, creating social opportunities in a safe space free from medical interventions and providing distraction from pain and illness. It offers play opportunities for siblings too, helping to normalise the hospital environment and bridge the gap between home and hospital.”
