Across the country, Shabbat Rooms quietly transform some of the most difficult moments in people’s lives. They provide warmth, food, designated religious space and a sense of home for families, who are often exhausted whilst supporting loved ones in hospital.
Camp Simcha is very proud to have recently taken responsibility for managing the Shabbat Room at Great Ormond Street Hospital, working alongside the hospital chaplaincy. Located in the basement, it has been a lifeline for many Camp Simcha families over the years. The room is open 24/7 and includes dry food cupboards, a fridge-freezer stocked with food, a dining table, a hot cupboard for Shabbat and many essential items that allow families to feel supported and cared for at an incredibly difficult time.
If you would like to find out more about using the Shabbat Room or about sponsorship opportunities, please get in touch with us here.
