Our 21st Anniversary

21 years caring for children and families, how will you help us celebrate our very special year?

Thank you for all your generous support over the past 21 years. For over two decades you have helped to make children’s hospice care possible.

It’s been 21 amazing years of…

  • Adding life to shortened years.
  • Helping families create precious memories.
  • Supporting parents, carers and siblings.
  • Providing specialist end-of-life care.
  • Helping families to say goodbye, in the way that is right for them.

And looking to the future, with your help…

  • We will care for more children and young people in our local community.
  • We’ll aim to reach families who don’t know about us, but would benefit from our help.
  • We also want to provide even more fun for families, bringing parents and carers together and supporting siblings.
  • We’ll continue to provide emotional support for children, young people and their families and be there for teenagers and their families as they transition to adult services.
