Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity’s mission is to raise the vital funds needed to make a real difference to all who use the hospital’s services, offering them the best experience possible.

Fear and anxiety can have a negative impact on a child's recovery, which is why play is central to everyday life at the hospital. Children who are happy and relaxed tend to cope better with their treatment and recover a lot quicker than those who are more anxious.

Each ward has its own dedicated play space and the BCH play team brings music, art, games and stories to all children, providing a diversion from difficult, uncomfortable or upsetting situations. These sessions help to encourage communication and movement, allowing patients to share their thoughts and confront their fears, as well as breaking up the routine of long hospital days.
