Our Impact Hope House Children’s Hospices are here to make sure that no one faces the death of their child alone. We support more than 750 local families who are either caring for a terminally ill child, or whose child has died. It costs £7.5 million every year to run our services and 86% of this is spent on care. 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 ambition is to raise an additional £2.5 million each year to make sure we reach every child, mum, dad, brother and sister who needs our help in this area. Children and families are the reason we are here 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. We learnt 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.

Their latest independent report said: “every effort is made to fully involve the children and key family members in the care planning process.” and "care delivery is designed around the pyramid of care which focuses on end of life care as the top priority, working down to routine respite care. The framework of the pyramid enables care to be delivered in a timely and effective manner by focusing resources and responses in an effective and timely way."
