A THERAPEUTIC room for anxious children has been opened at York Hospital.
The Sensory Room in the Children’s Ward was opened by John Waterhouse, a trustee for The Nikki Waterhouse Trust which was set up after Nikki was brutally murdered in October 2013.
The £15,000 interactive room was designed by the hospital play team and will be used to calm anxious children and deliver therapy.
Mr Waterhouse said: “Nikki loved children and had a great sense of fun, we are delighted that the room is completed and already proving very popular with children and staff. This is a great use of the money raised by the Trust in Nikki’s memory.”
