Children’s Hospice South West helps and supports children and their families who are living with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions which mean that sadly they will not reach adulthood. They are the only organisation in the South West to provide vital hospice care to these families. They offer palliative care, emergency care, planned respite and end of life care. But there’s more to it than that. They provide a loving and caring place for every member of the family, mums, dads, grandparents and well siblings. A place where everyone can begin to forget their worries for a while, be a family again and find expert help and support in facing an uncertain future.
The services are free to the families and they rely on the generosity of supporters to deliver their promise to ‘make the most of short and precious lives’.
Children’s Hospice South West has two purpose-built hospices in the South West. Little Bridge House in North Devon and Charlton Farm in North Somerset. A third special home from home for life-limited children in Cornwall and Plymouth, is due to open in 2011 called Little Harbour.
