Raising money for

East Anglia's Children's Hospices

Charity Registration No. 1069284

East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) has three children’s hospice care services based at Milton in Cambridge, Quidenham in Norfolk and Ipswich in Suffolk, which also serves North Essex. EACH is a registered charity that relies on public support for approximately 72% of their required income of around £5.8million a year – this amounts to nearly £11,500 a day from voluntary donations.,p>There are an estimated 23,500 children in the UK who are not expected to reach adulthood. Caring for a child or young person with a life-threatening illness, often for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, can put a huge strain on family life. Life can become governed by the timetable of nursing and medical needs. Careers may have to be put on hold, healthy brothers and sisters can feel left out and regular family activities and holidays can be rare. During all of this, families are going through a process of grieving.

EACH’s three multi-disciplinary care teams help local children with life-threatening conditions and complex healthcare needs, and their families with the emotional and physical challenges they face, helping them to make the most of life. They welcome the whole family for a short break together or time to themselves in a home-from-home environment or in the comfort of their own home.

My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro will be a physical and mental challenge for me – I will be raising money for EACH, East Anglia’s Children Hospice.

EACH aim is to maximise the quality of life for children with life-threatening illnesses and complex healthcare needs, and support their families.

Care and Support is delivered by multi disciplinary care teams in the family home or at the hospice itself. Hospices are based in Quidenham (Norfolk), Ipswich (Suffolk) and Milton (Cambs).

EACH’s three care teams help local life-threatened children and their families with the emotional and physical challenges they face, helping them to make the most of life.

EACH is a registered Charity which relies on public support for the vast majority of its required income.

Please help by supporting me in this challenge – Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and by raising funds for a magnificent Charity.

Thanks
