Hospice care for children

Children's hospices provide respite and terminal care for children suffering from life-limiting conditions in a home-from-home environment. Care is provided for the child and their family at no cost to them for as long as is necessary, including post bereavement support.

The hospices are run by different charities, they organise fund-raising activities to pay for the care they provide.

You can ask your doctor, health visitor or social worker to refer you to a hospice, or you can contact the hospice yourself.
