In March 2025, we proudly launched our Intensive Care Library Project, delivering beautiful collections of books to 15 NHS hospital partners and creating 20 libraries across Paediatric Intensive Care and High Dependency Units.
When a child is seriously ill and in intensive care, days can be filled with worry for both the child and their family. Finding a quiet moment of comfort or connection can be difficult in a hospital environment. Our libraries provide carefully curated books right where they’re needed most, giving families the chance to read together, share stories, and find moments of calm and connection during a challenging time.
This October, we carried out our latest book drop, delivering over 250 wonderful new books to hospitals across the country. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, the shelves are now brimming with vibrant stories to suit children of all ages and interests.
We’re so grateful to our amazing community for helping us keep these libraries full. Special thanks go to Emmie’s Books and Expect Amazing for their continued support, and to volunteers Viraj, Vidhi and their mum Avni, and Lindsay, George and Emmie who helped pack and deliver the books with such care.
If you’d like to support our Intensive Care Library Project, you can purchase books for our library here. Thank you.
