We got in the festive spirit this week at the annual MedEquip4Kids Christmas Sing-along at Manchester Cathedral. The event raised nearly £2,000 to provide medical equipment and facilities to benefit sick or injured children in hospital.

After a welcome from Canon David Holgate, our compere for the evening was Brian Carson, who as always did a fantastic job for us. The programme consisted of beautiful performances of Christmas music by pupils from local schools and orchestras, as well as traditional favourite carols for everyone to join in.

Thank you so much to all our wonderful young musicians from Buckstones Primary School, Ribble Drive Primary School, Farrowdale House Preparatory School, Gorsefield Primary School, Bury Catholic Preparatory School and Dark Peak String Orchestras.

Thank you also to everyone involved in supporting and organising the event, in particular the student volunteers from Manchester Metropolitan University who helped us out with the raffle and refreshments.

“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.”
