Coronavirus has changed everything for our children and their families.

Caring for a child with a life-limiting or life-threatening illness means that shielding is actually a common thing for our families to do throughout the winter months, but as a result of lockdown, our families found themselves shielding at a time of year when they would normally have been enjoying the finer weather; instead isolated from their support system, families and friends, they are more vulnerable than ever before. 

The services that Children's Hospice provide are an essential lifeline to those families, now more than ever. Children like Ana Lily and her parents Mark and Delia benefit greatly from the support and care at NI Children's Hospice.

Whether you decide to take on a virtual challenge, wear your purple hat, or host your family Christmas Jumper party to support us, you can help us make a massive difference to our families this festive season.
