WHY RICHARD HOUSE?
Richard House Children's Hospice serves the heart of East London. They deliver specialist care for babies, children and young adults, while supporting their families through counselling, therapy, bereavement support and more.
With a focus on living for today and creating positive memories for tomorrow, they also offer a range of activities for all the family to enjoy. Their services are completely free of charge and as a local charity over 70% of their funding is from the generosity of local people, companies and groups.
WHAT RICHARD HOUSE SAY:
“The last few months haven't been easy for Richard House. The global pandemic forced the team to make decisions we never imagined we would face – decisions that impact the lives of hundreds of sick children and their families. But during all this we have been able to be here for our families, offering them support and assistance. We foresee an unprecedented drop in income over the next 6-12 months as a result of the cancellation of fundraising events, activities and the closure of our six charity shops.
Out of 191 events in 2020, 67% have either been cancelled or postponed. These include our 20th Birthday Thames Cruise and Summer Fair, Prudential Ride London, Royal Parks Half, Orbit Abseil, Hackney Half and all 8 Action Challenge extreme events. The loss of income from these events alone, is in excess of £150,000. Despite all the incredible work we have achieved so far, Richard House still faces an uncertain future where we may need to cut services and we may even need to close our doors for good. This would be devastating for our families at a time when they need us most.
It's only thanks to our loyal supporters, that we stand a chance of stopping this uncertain future. We're relying on the momentum from our community continuing in order for us to continue giving care throughout this crisis.”
