Thank you @alistrathern for your continued support and advocacy, you have helped to put play in healthcare on the government agenda and the government are listening! We look forward to continuing this exciting journey with you.

It’s impossible not to be moved by the impact Lister Hospital’s therapeutic play team have had supporting young people and their families in moments of need. Great to share their experiences and @starlight_uk research in Westminster to show why the NHS play toolkit matters.

Play in healthcare took centre stage in Westminster Hall this week. Led by @CalvinBailey, MPs made the case that play is essential, not optional, for children’s health. The debate closed with @AshleyDalton_MP: 🗣️ “Play isn’t a luxury, it’s how children cope, connect, and heal.”
