Story

The Year of the Monkey2016 is the year of the monkey, but it’s considered to be one of the most unlucky birth years in the Chinese calendar. So we’ll be asking our supporters to help make this traditionally unlucky year as lucky as can be for those who will be born, and brought to us, for whatever the reason this year. From gifts, to messages of support, to lucky donations; we want to surround our home with as much positive light and thinking as we can. 

Children who are in need of palliative care have often suffered untold pain already, and we give every one of our butterflies the love, care and 24-hour medical attention they need. From end-of-life care to medical interventions that go on to save lives...We witness many miracles every day. How can I get involved?

The number 8 is a lucky sign for the Monkey.Can you donate £8, £18 or even £28 today? Your donation will be spent on the day to day running of our hospice; where we have cared for over 163 children.

About the charity

Our vision is that every child affected by life limiting conditions and their family are loved and supported. We provide and educate about professional and holistic care to enable each child and their family to cherish the beautiful moments.
