Children and Staff at Derriford need your help to create a beautiful underwater-themed extension to the childrens Emergency Department.

Story

We're helping Plymouth Hospitals Charity and the Children's Happy Hospital Fund to decorate the new Children's Emergency Department extension that is being built at Derriford Hospital!

I am swimming 1km dressed as a unicorn at the Everyone Active Life Centre 50m swimming pool in Plymouth, who have kindly supported this event by providing me with a personal rainbow race lane, on 22 June to raise funds to make the new Emergency Department area fun and friendly!

It can be such a scary time for a child to come to hospital with an injury, especially when everything looks so different from your normal life, so let's make the space more child-friendly. The staff and charities want to create a calm ocean space, where children will meet characters like Conrad the Clownfish and Poppy the Pufferfish, helping to draw them into an under-sea adventure rather than worrying about being in a hospital.

The extension will be wonderful, delivering 40 new seats, four new treatment rooms, a privacy room and lots more! With the decoration of the space included it will be so much easier for worried parents and children!

Donate to stop a unicorn drowning!!
Thank you :)
