We're here to improve the comfort of children and their families during extended hospital stays, particularly those affected by cancer.
What We Do
The aim of the Christian Blandford Fund is to improve the comfort of children and their families, particularly those affected by cancer, during prolonged stays in local NHS hospitals. The main beneficiary of the fund has been St George's Hospital, so far we have provided:
On the ward
Accuvein scanners that make inserting cannulas much less traumatic and painful. A portable ultrasound machine to allow patients to be scanned on the ward. Wall mounted flat screen TVs, laptops, games consoles and a new nurses' workstation.
For parents
Black-out blinds in all the rooms in the Pinkney Ward. Raising money for these is why we originally started the charity. New sofa beds for parental use, a new parents' lounge, and a significant contribution towards the new children's garden.
Father Christmas and Mini Teslas
A visit from Father Christmas, who brings presents for all the children, every year since 2010. And in partnership with Tesla Owners Group UK, Mini Teslas for children's wards throughout the UK.
"They decided instead of fundraising for huge items they instead would do the little things others don't think of, like buying decent curtains for the children's ward so the kids no longer wake up at sunrise in the summer. A truly wonderful charity working away quietly at improving families' quality of life."
