Little Havens Children's Hospice

Charity Registration No. 1022119

Little Havens Children's Hospice provides respite breaks, symptom control and end-of-life care for youngsters living with serious conditions and who are not expected to reach adulthood. It aims to make their journey - and that of the family - as comfortable as possible, creating special memories along the way. The love and care provided by the Care Team in the homely surroundings at Little Havens is as special and unique as the child. This could not continue without kind donations as it costs £2.3 million each year to keep the hospice open.

My story

I’m A Banker Get Me Outta Here (2008)

A group of about 85 friends from various banking institutions are planning another weekend of support at the Little Haven’s Children Hospice nr. Southend-on-Sea, (2007 team pictured below)

From Saturday 8^thto Sunday 9^th March 2008 we will spend 24 hours at Little Haven’s (sleeping at the grounds in a Marquee) offering support by doing work at the hospice as well as providing entertainment for the children and their families.

Some of the tasks that have been carried out in the past include:

· General maintenance and repairs in the Hospice buildings

· Gardening and tidying in the Hospice grounds

We also organise a party for the ill children and their siblings, this includes:

Fancy dress costumes
Face painting
Clay modelling

The weekend in March 2008 will be the fourth event that we have hosted and we hope that it will be the biggest and best. In the three events to date we have raised approx £300,000 and hope to smash an additional £125,000 in 2008

Little Havens will be celebrating its 10^th birthday in 2008 so help us to support the excellent work and care that they provide for all the ill children in the future..
