Blackpool Paediatric Continence Service provides community care for upward of 500+ children in schools, Clinics and their own homes. Incontinence in children may be caused by physical disability, a learning difficulty, or psychological or social problems.

Bedwetting is a widespread and distressing condition which can significantly affect the child’s behaviour, emotional wellbeing and social life. Children who wet the bed at night often fear sleepovers or school trips in case they are bullied or ridiculed. They also worry they will be excluded and lose their friends if they refuse to attend.

The Blackpool Paediatric Continence Team have asked for our help to fund resources including enuresis (bedwetting) alarms, wobl watches and picture books to help children learn how their body works.

This equipment will prove to be a great resource to the team as they are reusable and often avoid the need for the child to be prescribed ongoing medications.

The total cost of fulfilling this project is £485.53

“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.”
