Hospital Programmes
St George’s Hospital School
With sessions having started in 2022, St George’s Hospital School is the most recent hospital to join our programme. Featuring a hospital school for both children with physical health issues as well as young people with mental health challenges, sessions draw on inspiration from the activities run at GOSH, the Royal Marsden and CCHS.
GREAT ORMOND STREET, EVELINA CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL AND THE ROYAL MARSDEN
In 2005, working in partnership with Chance to Shine, we began to deliver specialised sports sessions, with elements of cricket involved, for children at Evelina Children’s Hospital (St Guy’s and Thomas) and Great Ormond Street Hospital. The sessions and games were developed by our highly experienced coaches, Ray Tudor and Denise O’Neill.
We currently deliver weekly coaching sessions at Evelina on Wednesday and Thursday mornings. During which, Ray and Denise work with children in the hospital school itself as well as those who are on wards, including young children who are on dialysis.
Since 2018, with further funding from Chance to Shine, we also began to deliver sessions at The Royal Marsden Hospital in Sutton.
CHELSEA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL SCHOOL (CCHS)
THE COLLINGHAM CHILD AND FAMILY CENTRE – LAVENDER WALK
The Collingham Centre, part of the Chelsea Community Group, is an NHS residential service for children under the age of 13 with complex mental health problems, and their families.
Denise has been working at the Collingham Centre since 2016 and, in just over 2 years, has become an inspiration at the centre. Denise’s unique approach to working with the children ,and the positive influence she has on the them, has impressed all of the staff at the centre. This was recognised last year when Denise was nominated, by the children, in the Adult Leader Category at the Apollo Awards 2017.
In 2019, Denise began work at Lavender Walk, a dedicated unit for young people with mental health difficulties aged 13 up to their 18th birthday.
