Spacer 1. Current projects

Using the money which has been raised on behalf of Momentum, we are currently in the process of redesigning and refurbishing the Teenager's Room in the Paediatric Department at Kingston Hospital.  The new room will be opened officially in October.

Our next project is to raise money for a holiday home to provide respite care for sick children and their families who are often in desperate need of a break to spend precious time together.

Please contact us if you would like to help with fundraising for this project.


2. Achievements

2007

Earlier this year we raised funds for a stunning mosaic to brighten up the entrance to the children's wards at Kingston Hospital. The mosaic was installed by the award winning charity, Save the World Club and is bright and vibrant, using the themes of 'Dolphins' and 'Sunshine' which are the names of the two children's wards. Two local schools, Kingston Grammar and St. Paul's C of E Junior School, were involved in the design and creation of the mosaic.



2006

Raised £45,000 to create a fantastic childrens garden in the paediatric department of Kingston Hospital with a separate relaxation area for children with cancer who, due to their illness, cannot mix with the other children in the main play area.

Installed broadband in the isolation rooms and purchased a laptop pc so that parents who need to stay with their children can still maintain their jobs.

Purchased digital cameras for use by the Play Team.

Assisted with funding specialist training, books, equipment for PONT nurses.

Purchased play station for children.
