During the period of nationwide lock down and physical distancing, I am spending 20 hours doing a singular physical activity you wouldn't normally do, to help raise vital funds that could help provide a lifeline to seriously ill children and their families delivering care at a time of national crisis. During the current crisis, Richard House will be remaining open to provide vital support to the NHS. As hospitals focus on COVID-19 patients we will be taking children with long term conditions from hospitals, both to provide more beds in hospitals for the NHS effort, and also to provide a safer environment for children with long term conditions. More than ever it is vital that Richard House is able to provide care these families and children, many of who are the most vulnerable and at risk in the present crisis.
