Emmett’s Genies are partnered with several local paediatric services including The Children’s Hospital, John Radcliffe; Buckinghamshire Paediatric Community Service; West Hertfordshire Paediatric Service and Helen & Douglas Hospice. We work with these services to provide Emmett’s Genies Boredom Busting Activity Packs to critically and terminally ill children.
Our packs are tailored to different age groups but all include items such as drawing and writing paper, stationary, a fictional novel, activity books, card or board games and a worry worm handmade by volunteers. If we receive a referral from an individual, we will personalise the pack further. We have also had a partnership with Scamp & Dude to include superhero pants.
We have distributed a few hundred packs so far and continue to link with more services to provide packs to even more children.
