Hope House Children’s Hospices is a charity that gives every local child with a life-threatening condition and their family access to professional care and improves their quality of life from the point of diagnosis

Thank you!

We support more than 750 local families who are either caring for a terminally ill child, or whose child has died.

It costs £10 million every year to run our services. Approximately two month’s income comes from statutory sources and for the other 10 months of the year we are dependent on public support.

Our mission is to reach every child with a life-threatening condition in our area, to give them and their family access to professional care and improve their quality of life, and to raise the money we need to do this. 

Children and families are the reason we are here.

The lifeline fund

In 2020 we joined forces with Tŷ Hafan Children's Hospice to ask the children, young people and families in our care what they need to live the best life they can.

We had an incredible 133 responses from families — and we learnt a lot about what families love about our care, but also what they desperately need more of. Their voices powered our Family Voices report called Our Lifeline. It presents, very loudly and clearly, and in their own words, the most important concerns of families who have children with life-limiting conditions.
