Helping Children in Hospital and at Home
One moment Ben Halford was a normal, happy, gorgeous little boy, learning to walk and talk, exploring his world with delight and full of chuckles for his doting mum and dad, and the next, he was fighting for his life.
We are so pleased to have funded a specialised TV and DVD player costing £16,000 in one of the MRI scan rooms in the radiology department at the RUH Bath. This will allow patients to watch a movie while they have their scan.
We took along one of our patrons, Will Thorp, to check out the new equipment, which will help nervous patients, young and old, that are undergoing MRI examinations.

Check out this video of our amazing patron, actor Will Thorp taking a closer look at our new DVD system for the MRI scanner at the RUH Hospital.
The DVD player is highly specialised as it has to work in a strong magnetic field and not interfere with the electric signals being produced by the scanner.
Time Is Precious supports individual children with equipment for their homes, called Ben’s Gift.
“With thanks for the amazing support from the community, we can try to help more children.”
Over the years we have had several individual requests, to support children in their homes. Unfortunately we have had to turn these down, as it has not been in our deeds to do so. However, this has now been passed by the charity commissions.
We are overwhelmedo be able to do this, as we want to help as many children as possible.
