Supporting Young Patients at The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital.

Date: 19th March 2026

The Little Activity Hub is a new, comforting space created to support children and young people (CYP) during their time at The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital. Fully funded by ROC Charity, the hub offers a dedicated area where young patients can explore creativity, enjoy positive distractions, and take part in calming, age‑appropriate activities.

Located within the ROC‑funded CYP Waiting Area, the hub brings a much‑needed physical distraction element to a space that previously relied solely on virtual media. This addition provides young patients with hands‑on activities that help reduce anxiety and make waiting times more manageable.

Developed in close partnership with the CYP team, every aspect of the hub has been shaped around the needs and experiences of young patients. The goal is simple: to foster imagination, enhance wellbeing, and create meaningful moments of comfort during their hospital journey.

The Little Activity Hub is now open in the CYP Waiting Area — offering young patients a space to relax, play, and feel more at ease while receiving care.
