Taylor Wimpey Manchester has helped to fund the enhancement of sensory equipment and spaces for children being treated at Royal Oldham Hospital, through our Sunshine Appeal.
The housebuilder’s £1,200 donation covered the cost of an outdoor projector
for the unit’s outdoor sensory space.
Each year, over 10,000 children are treated by experts in the children’s unit at the hospital. The Sunshine Appeal aims to improve the environment of the unit while also providing specialist equipment and facility upgrades.
These will benefit the children and young people staying at the hospital who have complex and mental health needs and learning difficulties.
Taylor Wimpey’s donation is part of its ongoing commitment to giving back to the community surrounding its Harts Mead development in Ashton-Under-Lyne.
The outdoor projector brings dynamic and colourful visual effects to the outdoor space in darkness.
Ricky Barber, Childrens Unit Manager at The Royal Oldham Hospital, said: “Many of the children staying here are accommodated in individual rooms for isolation purposes, facing out onto the courtyard at night.
"Being able to see the beautiful displays produced by the projector, so generously funded by Taylor Wimpey, brings delight to their little faces.
"We are very grateful for Taylor Wimpey’s support in making every child’s hospital stay the best it can be.”
Sam Evans, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey Manchester, said: “We are proud to be able to support the sensory equipment and facility improvements being introduced to the children’s unit at The Royal Oldham Hospital. This project is going to improve the stay of the thousands of children being treated there and also help to put a smile on their faces during a difficult time.”
