The Young Person’s Unit at UCH are delighted to have benefitted from a grant from the Thomas Cook Children’s Charity.

The donation given to UCL Hospitals Charitable Foundation will enable young patients, many of whom have prolonged stays on the ward, to take part in many activities such as creative workshops, baking sessions and pizza & movie nights. The grant also provided two laptops which patients can use to communicate with friends and family and to keep up with their school work.

Cheryl Morgan, from the Thomas Cook Children’s Charity, visited the ward in September during Play Week. She was impressed by the work led by Activity Coordinators Frenchesca James and Jenika Bhudia. Cheryl said, “It was wonderful listening to them both speak so passionately about their job and about the young people they help. I’m happy to have been part of the process that made this funding possible to UCL Hospitals Charitable Foundation.”
