University Hospitals Birmingham Charity's Home away from Home appeal helps to provide patients and families with free accommodation near to our hospitals, helping to keep families together during difficult times in their lives.

For patients and their families, visiting the hospitals can be a stressful experience without the added pressure of trying to find somewhere to stay to be near a loved one. We provide these home away from homes to alleviate that stress, and make visiting the hospital, under what can be very difficult circumstances, as easy as possible.

From working at the charity I have seen first hand the immeasurable difference this project makes to families every day.
