Appeal Daffodils

These daffodils are some of the items we started creating for St Davids Day & Easter as part of our fundraising for the Splish Splash Splosh Appeal. They are priced at £2.00 and are being produced by our ever growing dedicated team of knitters around South Wales.

Look out for people wearing them!

If you would like to order one, please drop me a line on katievokes@hotmail.com

Currently over 500 children from all over Wales miss out on hydrotherapy treatment each year. The Noah's Ark Appeal's Splish Splash Splosh campagin is aiming to raise the £500,000 needed to build a hydrotherapy pool at the Children's Hospital for Wales.

Hydrotherapy is a form of physiotherapy carried out in a heated purpose-built pool and helps patients with numerous conditions to strengthen joints and muscles and maintain movement. As the body is more supported in water children are often able to start hydrotherapy treatment much earlier and the heat and buoyancy of the water also makes hydrotherapy less painful than treatment on dry land. The pool is often a less threatening environment for children, they can relax, have fun and often they don't know that they are doing physiotherapy.

The following groups of children will greatly benefit from receiving hydrotherapy treatment at the Children's Hospital for Wales: Neurology patients (eg. head injuries, paediatric stroke), Neurosurgical patients (eg. removal of tumours, cerebral bleeds), Developmental delay patients (eg. downs syndrome, cerebral palsy), Orthopaedic patients (eg. spinal injury patients in rehab, multi-trauma), Oncology patients (eg. bone cancer, brain tumour) and Respiratory patients (eg. asthma).
