A program of the Shocair Foundation

Play belongs in every childhood.

Shocair Play puts technology for joy directly into children’s cancer wards and hospices: console stations, handheld gaming systems, Android tablets — plus a personal headset every child can keep.

THE IDEA

Treatment can interrupt life. Play helps give part of it back.

Long stays can mean weeks away from friends, school, routines and everything familiar. Shocair Play brings entertainment, connection and a little independence directly to the bedside and ward.

The goal is not merely to donate gadgets. It is to create reliable moments of normal childhood: competing with a friend, finishing a game, watching a favourite show, video-calling family or simply disappearing into another world for a while.

WHAT WE GIVE

Three formats. One purpose.

Different children, rooms and stages of treatment need different ways to play. Shocair Play is designed around that reality.

THE PART THEY KEEP

Every child gets their own headset.

Shared consoles and tablets stay with the hospital. The headset does not. It is packed as a personal Shocair Play Wireless Headset gift so the child has something that is theirs — for gaming, music, calls and connecting with friends.

Efficiently sourcedDirect manufacturer relationships can reduce cost

Shocair Play can use established manufacturer relationships, including VBet, to explore direct headset sourcing subject to final supply and branding agreements.

WHY TABLETS BELONG IN THE PROGRAM

A tablet is not just another game device.

🎮

Games

Casual and age-appropriate games for children who may not want or be able to use a console.

🎬

Entertainment

Streaming, movies, music and audiobooks can turn long treatment hours into something more manageable.

📞

Connection

Video calls help children stay connected with parents, siblings, classmates and friends.

🎨

Creativity

Drawing, music and creative apps offer more ways to participate when energy is low.

📚

Learning

Schoolwork and reading can continue when appropriate, helping children stay connected to normal routines.

🛡️

Hospital control

Tablets can be configured for approved apps, parental controls, offline content and hospital Wi-Fi policies.

HOW IT WORKS

From a book purchase or donation to a child at play.

1

We fund

Bull Gemini Press proceeds allocated to the program and direct donations create the equipment pool.

2

Hospitals choose

Each hospital tells us whether it needs console stations, handhelds, tablets or a mix.

3

We equip

We source, prepare and deliver complete play packages with cases, controllers and personal headsets.

4

Kids play

The hospital keeps the shared equipment. The child keeps their headset.

A SELF-FUNDING MODEL

Books that keep doing good after the last page.

Bull Gemini Press helps power Shocair Play. Revenue allocated from book sales creates a recurring funding engine while donations, corporate sponsors and direct manufacturer support increase the number of children we can reach.
