The Children’s Ward at Royal Glamorgan Hospital cares for many young patients, including children who are neurodiverse or have additional learning needs. A new sensory room will provide a much-needed therapeutic space, designed to calm, engage and support children during what can be a very stressful time in hospital.

This fundraiser is being led by local staff member, Mark Evans, who works in the RGH Cardiology team and is dedicating his time to fundraising through his role as Santa over the festive season. Mark will be visiting children’s wards across Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board and hosting a Santa’s Grotto outside the main entrance of the Royal Glamorgan Hospital in December.

By supporting this appeal, you’ll be helping to create a dedicated space filled with sensory equipment – lights, sounds, textures and interactive features – that can make hospital visits less daunting, reduce anxiety, and provide joy and comfort for children and their families.

Every donation, big or small, will bring us closer to making this special room a reality. Help us make a lasting difference for children at Royal Glamorgan Hospital.
