Francis House Children's Hospice
Pending display name
With an increased requirement for children's hospice care following Covid-19, we need to provide emotional and bereavement support for families in the community following the death of their child.
About this cause
As a children's hospice, Francis House provides respite and end of life care for children and young people with complex life threatening conditions, with more than 500 families from a range of backgrounds, currently accessing our care. This means that 2,000 people are receiving specialist respite, symptom control and end of life care, free of charge, regardless of faith, ethnicity or background
How this cause brings people in the community together
This project will allow families, many who are vulnerable from both an emotional and financial perspective, to be completely supported on every level for as long as required following the death of their child. Siblings are given the time to explore and express feelings about their grief which helps them to develop their own way of remembering their brother or sister both now and in the future.
