Raising money for

Children's Hospice South West

Charity Registration No. 1003314

At Children’s Hospice South West we help and support children and their families who are living with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and we are the only organisation in the South West to provide vital hospice care to these families. Some families come to us for palliative care, some for emergency care and many for planned respite and a rare opportunity for a break away. But there’s more to it than that. We provide a loving and caring place for every member of the families who stay with us. 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.

Our services are free to the families who need us because we believe that nothing should get in the way of very sick children receiving the very best care. So, with little government funding, we rely on the generosity of our supporters to deliver our 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.

My story

HE DID IT!!!

On 30 April at 7.00pm, 30 hours after John left Little Bridge House in North Devon, he crossed the finish line at Charlton Farm in North Somerset.

110 miles completed, across two counties, this really was an awesome challenge.

Nearly 100 runners joined John along the route and people came out all along the route to show John support.

Thank you to everyone who helped John reach this incredible goal - he really is our Champion and all the money he and his fellow runners have raised will help us to support more and more families with life limited children across the south west.

It's not too late to support this event and every penny raised will help us achieve our fundraising goal and will help us to make the most of short and precious lives.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Children's Hospice South West gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
