Sunshine in Hospitals
Brightening the lives of seriously ill children in hospitals, hospices or other healthcare settings across the UK
<Sunshine in Hospitals>
What is Sunshine in Hospitals?
Our hospital team delivers sunshine to children up and down the country currently receiving treatment in hospitals.
These projects help to reduce anxiety, loneliness and isolation in the hospital and hospice environment for seriously ill children and their families.

World Book Day
Every child deserves to experience the magic of World Book Day, but for many seriously ill children in hospitals, this special day can feel out of reach.
Rays of Sunshine is working to make sure that seriously ill children aren’t left out by delivering World Book Day boxes and books to hospitals across the UK.
Liquid to Tablets
We're teaming up with play specialists from Leeds Children's Hospital to help children and young people switch from liquid medication to tablet medication with our special kits.
This transition not only enhances the well-being of the children but also contributes to cost savings for the NHS.
Sunshine Sensory Bags
Rays of Sunshine Sensory Bags are a set of sensory resources to help facilitate play interventions to children and young people specifically requiring sensory play. The bags include resources to help stimulate and support; vision, hearing, touch & fidget/mindfulness.
Sunshine in Hospitals Grant
The Sunshine in Hospitals Grant aims to provide a one-off sum of up to £20,000 to a UK hospital, hospice or other healthcare setting to fund a project that will support seriously ill young people aged three to 18.
