The Children and Young People’s Unit (CYPU) in the Emergency Department at RSH recently received a bumper pack of crayons from their Amazon Wishlist.

Staff of CYPU are holding the bumper box of crayons purchased by a parent.The area has posters up in the unit advertising their Wishlist and this time a grateful parent purchased the team 144 crayons.

Emma Millington, Play Practitioner, said: “We are so grateful for every item we receive from our Wishlist; these crayons will be used daily by our young patients, providing a great distraction for them at a difficult time. Keeping our youngest patients calm is a top priority, and these will go a long way to help them.”

Julia Clarke, Director of Public Participation, said: “We are so grateful for the ongoing support that our patients and relatives show both CYPUs through their Amazon Wishlists. The Amazon Wishlist is an easy way for patients and their relatives to send in a simple thank you and because the lists have been tailored by the department, they are always receiving exactly what they would like.”
