Christmas fundraiser sees Northampton hospital on its way to raising £20,000 for two sensory rooms

Christmas fundraiser sees Northampton hospital on its way to raising £20,000 for two sensory rooms Nurses at Berrywood Hospital want to turn two rarely used rooms into sensory rooms for children to use on both the Burrows and Sett wards.The rooms will be used in different ways to suit each patient’s needs and will allow the children to self-manage stress and anxiety, in the company of their families.

Wednesday saw staff, patients and their family and friends take part in a raffle, tombola and charity cake sale, in the company of the Rock Choir, to raise funds to pay for the two facilities. So far, £600 has been raised and one of the activity coordinators, Katie Trevor, said she's happy with the progress they have made so far. Northampton Chronicle and Echo
