About Rockinghorse Children’s Charity:
Rockinghorse Children’s Charity support sick and disabled children across Sussex. They support babies, children and young people, along with their families, at The Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital and The Trevor Mann Baby Unit in Brighton and all of the specialist children’s wards and baby units throughout Sussex.
Originally set up in 1967 by Dr Trevor Mann, they are the official fundraising arm of the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital including the Trevor Mann Baby Unit. Since then, they have supported nearly a million children with lifesaving medical equipment, support for parents and families, environments and spaces for children and additional staff.
During December last year 2,631 children had to go to the Accident and Emergency department of the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital. And in the same month 872 babies, children and young people were admitted to the hospital.
That’s more than 3,500 children who end up in hospital for one reason or another during the festive season. And that’s not much fun.
Spending time in hospital over the Christmas period isn’t fun for anyone, but it’s even worse for children – not knowing if Father Christmas will know where to find them, not being able to enjoy Christmas at home with their family, not to mention being scared and worried about what their treatment might involve.
But just like every year, Rockinghorse want to make sure none of these children miss out on the festive fun.
