The Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital Charity, official charity of the Children’s Hospital for Wales is inviting school children from across Wales to help decide the ward names in Phase Two of the Children’s Hospital for Wales.
Pupils will vote for their favourite names from a shortlist. The vote closes on Friday 29th June and the winning names will be announced in early July.
Phase One is a bright and colourful place that was designed with children and families in mind and this is something the Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital Charity and the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board wish to continue through in Phase Two. The names of these wards will be carried through in the artwork and are key in ensuring that the environment is fun, colourful and inspiring for our young patients.
Suzanne Mainwaring, Director of the Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital Charity said; “Schools across Wales have played, and continue to play a vital part in helping us to fundraise for our hospital and support sick children from across Wales. As a thank you, we would like to invite schools to participate in this exciting voting process.
We think that people will agree that this is a special opportunity for schools across Wales to be part of the history of the Children’s Hospital for Wales. We hope that the names will inspire children and provide a talking point in both classes and the playground.”
Philip Barry, Directorate Manager of Child Health, Cardiff and Vale University Health Board said; “When completed the Children’s Hospital for Wales will be a beacon of excellence offering specialist care for children across Wales. We feel it is important that children in Wales have an opportunity to contribute to the development of the hospital, and have already worked with a number of schools around Wales on aspects of the design.
We see the ward naming process as an opportunity to enable as many children as possible to have an influence on the next phase which will help define the feel and spirit of the Children’s Hospital”
