Children are being treated ‘under the sea’ after a charity refurbished an isolation room at Epsom Hospital.

Momentum, a charity that supports children with cancer and life-limiting conditions across south west London and Surrey, painted the room in the Paediatric Unit at Epsom Hospital with blue seas and brightly-coloured tropical fish.

In the past year, the charity has also transformed the playroom and parents’ room on Casey – the hospital’s children’s ward.

Momentum also offers emotional and practical support to families in Epsom and provides drama and music therapy, counselling, boat trips and respite breaks at its two holiday homes in the New Forest and on its canal boat.

Casey Ward manager Karen Kilday praised the charity for helping make patients’ stays a “little bit more bearable”. She said: “Momentum Children's Charity have transformed yet another room on our lovely ward, this time a beautiful seascape.

“This will make a real difference to our poorly children and their families who often spend several days in isolation in rooms that can sometimes be uninspiring.

“All the staff on Casey Ward are very grateful for Momentum's support and we can't wait to see how well received it is by our patients and families.”
