Helen & Douglas House helps local families cope with the challenges of looking after a terminally ill baby or child who will die prematurely. Helen & Douglas House is a home from home for local terminally ill children and their families. We provide round-the-clock care in a warm, loving environment. Were a comforting cocoon filled with laughter, a peaceful place where families can create happy memories in their last days, weeks, months or years together. It costs £3.6 million a year to run the hospice and provide its outreach nursing service to help families at home and we cannot do this without your help.
