Making a Difference

At the heart of CIH’s work is its play service which is now available to children in 14 hospitals throughout the country. With a focus on everyday play for every child.  CIH is the only charity managing a voluntary service of this kind in Irish hospitals. By providing engaging and supportive play in wards, playrooms, emergency departments and outpatient departments, CIH volunteers nurture curiosity and creativity and provide distraction from the stress of being in hospital.
