The fundraiser was a success! The family raised enough money for a gaming kart and came to us for help in making their wish happen. We were only too happy to help and were able to put them in touch with Get Well Gamers, who agreed to donate a Playstation console as part of the gift. We joined the Bagge family at Great Ormond Street Hospital on 23 January, when they presented their heartfelt gift to the team at the Safari Day Care ward.
We’re delighted to hear that the Bagge family had a happy result at the end of such a worrying time. But, as Jamie says, “for many, that isn’t possible.” We wish Alfie all the best in his ongoing recovery and hope that GOSH’s new gaming kart can bring hours of distraction and relief to other patients who are waiting for results or undergoing treatment in the future.
Get-Well Gamers is a fantastic registered UK charity that donates video games, consoles and accessories to children’s hospitals, hospices and other healthcare settings. Their goal is to support play specialists in helping children stay positive through their treatment and recovery.
The games and consoles they provide are kindly donated by members of the public and the Get-Well Gamers team checks it to make sure it works and is ready to find a new home. Once the donation has been given the all clear, the team checks their request list and sends the items out to the hospitals or medical facilities where they are needed!
