Nothing beats a visit from Louby Lou to brighten up a hospital stay 💙

When 5-year-old Arlo was admitted to Stepping Hill Children’s Unit, he was feeling restless, uncomfortable and not quite himself. Even his iPad wasn’t providing the distraction he needed.

Then Louby Lou arrived, bringing magic tricks, balloon modelling and plenty of laughter to children across the ward.

“The clown was funny – I liked how she made me a balloon!” said Arlo, proudly showing off his creation.

His mum told us that he quickly seemed more like his usual self and couldn’t stop talking about the magic tricks afterwards.

Louby Lou also visited children at Macclesfield Hospital Children’s Ward, bringing smiles, wonder and much-needed distraction to Jacob, Tobias and many others.

Thanks to your support, children spending time in hospital this summer can enjoy moments of fun, laughter and magic when they need them most ✨

“The switch adapted toys have been a wonderful addition to our school. Both staff and children were thrilled to have some new exciting resources. The children love the lights and movement many of these switch toys have and are highly motivated to explore and investigate how to make them work. They have been great for pupils to develop their understanding of cause and effect and we have also noticed improved concentration and engagement when using them. Often it can be difficult to find toys that are robust enough to withstand lots of heavy use AND be interesting and fun. These new resources tick all those boxes. They have made a noticeable impact on the children’s development in this area.”
