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. 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 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.

We are also well regarded in professional circles

Tŷ Gobaith is regularly reviewed by the Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW). Their latest independent report in January 2023 said: "Parents/guardians who contributed to the inspection expressed satisfaction with the care and treatment provided at Tŷ Gobaith. They told us that staff were kind and caring. We observed very positive interactions between staff and children, with staff supporting children in a dignified and respectful manner. We saw staff treating children with complete dignity and compassion. The whole of the hospice environment was well maintained, clean and tidy."
