Making hospital a less frightening place for children
Action for Sick Children has been working for over 40 years to make hospital a less frightening place for children. ASC has worked tirelessly to ensure that health care in hospitals and the community meets the special needs of sick children and young people.
Some of the most important ways we make a difference are:
- Helping children understand what will happen to them when they go into hospital.
- Making children’s hospital wards less scary and more fun by providing toys and bright decorations.
- Giving advice and information to sick children and their parents.
The mother of a nine year old girl asked Action for Sick Children to help them prepare for her child's operation. The family received lots of information from ASC and wrote back, saying:
The hospital was unable to supply me with any written information, so - thanks to you and your support - this was a very positive experience for my daughter.
