London's Guy's Hospital and Chelsea and Westminster Hospital will also receive cinemas with RealD Cinema technology. Disney activity packs are being created and distributed to children in hospitals, relating to the film titles shown through the bedside screening channel: 6,450 activity packs, 3,200 arts & crafts kits, 3,700+ sticker sheets and craft guides and not forgetting the many numerous coloured pens. MediCinema and Vue have recently launched a new advert to promote MediCinema which features our patron, acclaimed British actor, Simon Pegg. Funding of up to £420,000 for the "fully digital, 3D" cinema was provided by The Royal British Legion, and additional monies were provided by Medicinema supporters, such as actor Simon Pegg who attended the opening. It allows patients to leave their wards and provides entertainment that lightens their spirits. Through supportive partnerships with both distributors and exhibitors, preview screenings were held at participating cinemas around the country from which all ticket sales were donated to MediCinema. During a long stint in hospital, patients – and their families/carers – often have no respite or distractions from their (often serious) illnesses or upcoming treatment. Simon Pegg, MediCinema Patron and British Actor said “I am honoured to be a patron of MediCinema, a truly wonderful charity that brings the magic of film to hospital patients across the UK.

I had a terrific time at the screening of The Kid Who Would Be King, and I think I found some rival Merlins in the form of Muntaha, Nasser and Marwan!! "[7], MediCinema has partnered with 3D technologies RealD to equip hospital cinemas with ReadD 3D. MediCinema is a charity that screens films for patients during their hospital stay. By providing ‘Cinematherapy’ in this safe, stimulating, relaxing and sociable environment, MediCinema goers can escape the isolation of their wards and illness, and enjoy a few hours of normality and fun with their family and loved ones. In 2019 MediCinema received contributions totalling £328,000 from Vue Cinema admissions where customers donated directly at the Point of Sale (PoS) machines. MediCinema was founded by Christine Hill MBE.[1][2][3]. The charity also provides separate nursing care to ensure patients have the best and safest experience while in the cinema. In addition, Vue has agreed to provide assistance with the design, fit-out and technical specifications of each of the MediCinema venues. Actors Simon Pegg, Emma Thompson, Stephen Graham, Tom Hiddleston and George Mackay (“1917”) have all filmed messages for the charity, leading to a rise in much-needed donations from all over the world. Kate Winslet, Ewan McGregor and Dame Helen Mirren are just a few of the patrons of MediCinema. For an organisation based on donations and campaigning this has been a particularly devastating time (as the whole charity sector will tell you).
