Easter activities and generous donations made Easter on the Children’s Ward that little bit more fun at the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust (RUH).

Over 150 eggs were donated by staff and customers from Bath Odd Down Sainsbury’s, along with a giant egg donated by Chelwood Bridge Rotary Club and at least another 100 eggs donated by customers and staff from New Look and TK Maxx stores all over the region.

In addition to all this excitement, children on the ward have been busy making Easter decorations with RUH play specialist, Jo Powell, and RUH Artist in Residence, Edwina Bridgeman, which are now proudly on display in the Children’s Ward playroom.

Jo said: “We are so grateful for all of these generous donations. Being in hospital can be a nerve-wracking experience for any child and staying in hospital over the holidays can be especially tough.

“This year we have so many Easter eggs we are even planning to do a couple of Easter egg hunts around the ward. Anything we can do like this really helps distract children from their illnesses and injuries and makes their stay that bit brighter.”
