Two New Sleeper Chairs for Rainbow Children’s Ward - 08 May 2024

We are delighted two new sleeper chairs, which can be used as normal chairs but also convert to flat beds, we funded for Rainbow Children's Ward are now in use. A significant part of the £2,770 cost was met by the monies generously raised by the charity bookcase at Tesco Manston last November & December.

As well as allowing them to comfort their child in a relaxed way as shown, they allow parents to properly rest overnight so they can be properly engaged in their child’s care and recovery. Having a parent or carer present also ensures the distress to the child of being in hospital and away from their usual surroundings is reduced by having a familiar person to give them comfort.

We rely on donations which we very much welcome no matter how small and if you’d like to help us fund items like these please visit the Donations section of this website for the details of how to do so.
