The Hub
The Hub is a safe, non-clinical space where children, young people and families can take a break and spend time together away from the wards.
Welcome to the Hub
Located in the ground floor Family Support Corridor (next to The Pod, outpatients waiting area), The Hub is a welcoming space where children, young people and families can relax, play, take part in activities, get practical help and advice, or just spend some time away from the ward.
Our Hub is here for children and young people of all ages, as well as brothers, sisters, parents, carers and extended family members.
Whether you need a hand with paperwork, support navigating hospital life, or simply a cup of tea and a chance to take a breather, our team is here to help however we can.
It doesn't feel like we're in hospital at all.
