Why we are here

There is no loss crueller than the death of a child. When your child is diagnosed with an incurable condition your heart breaks and your world falls apart. When your child dies, something dies in you too.

Facing that journey alone is terrifying. You feel so helpless. Without Hope House Children's Hospices, you struggle on, often isolated in your pain and grief. We must help.

This must stop.

No-one should face the death of a child alone.

How we work

We:

• Put the needs of the child and their family at the heart of everything we do
• Care for children and support families from diagnosis and continue for as long as we are able to provide the right care and support for them.
• Provide fair and equitable access to our services for everyone - regardless of location, their ethnicity, social or economic circumstances
• Deliver effective services as responsively as we can
• Raise sufficient funds and use them carefully to benefit the children and families we care for
• Value and recognise the contribution of all who help us to improve the quality of life for children and their families - our employees, volunteers, supporters and partners
• Are open and transparent in our business and activities, while protecting the rights of children and families to privacy at all times
