When a child suddenly becomes ill, there's no time to plan. The Sick Children's Trust is the charity that gives families one less thing to worry about by giving them a place to stay, and someone to talk to, free of charge just minutes from their child's bedside.

Our ten Homes from Home support families from around the UK each year with a warm and comfortable place to stay and a friendly ear to listen. We have helped over 73,000 families since 1982, with a welcoming place to stay when they have really needed it.

With your help, we are working to a future where every family with a seriously ill child in hospital can stay together, close to their child's hospital bedside and challenges like this one are critical to funding our vital work.
