I love the Youth Room so much! I can get away from it all when I feel swamped by medical stuff and I can just come and chill out in a place where people understand me.
Young person aged 16
I have met loads of new friends and done stuff I would never imagined I would. Having a chronic condition does not have to hold you back!
Young person aged 16
Thank you for inviting me on the residential. It was the best trip that I have been on! I met lots of new friends and it helped my confidence.
Young person aged 13
I was really bored in hospital until I was told about the Youth Room. You don’t have to stay in bed being miserable, it’s great!
Young person aged 14
I am so grateful for the Youth Room. The staff are really friendly, caring and supportive. They always listen to me.

NUH Youth Service is a fabulous but increasingly necessary addition to Children’s Services here at NUH.
