The Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital

Making hospitals as child-friendly as possible is an extrememly important part of our work

In June 2007, 'The New Alex' in Brighton opened its doors to children across Sussex and beyond.

The state-of-the-art facility has won an international design award and continues to offer pioneering paediatric care. It provides inpatient facilities, including intensive care, and outpatient care for children to the whole of the South East, including the Isle of Wight.

In 2010, a total of 44,341 children and babies were treated in The Alex and Trevor Mann Baby Unit (TMBU).

Currently, Rockinghorse is working with The Alex to develop a new Gastro-Intestinal (GI) Nutrition Unit as well as a children's accident and emergency room. We are also fundraising for a pain distraction unit to help treat young people.
