Pyjama Fairies mission is to make hospital stays easier for children and their families.
Winning the £1,000 will allow us to buy fabric to make 100 garments for a donation to a Children's Ward at a UK Hospital, potentially making a difference to 100 children who are undergoing medical intervention, surgery or tests etc.
Evidence has shown that our garments help to alleviate the stress of being in hospital. They allow poorly children to retain a sense of their own identity. Our gowns let children be children and not just patients. Visiting a sick child in hospital can have a profound impact on siblings and relatives, feedback from parents and healthcare professionals tells us that our gowns make the visits less clinical, the hospital wards less intimidating.
Due to the current pandemic, our funding has been significantly cut due to us not being able to hold fundraising events, our supporters holding charity days etc. and general grants etc. being dramatically cut. This really will help us to keep helping the people who need it the most.
