I have had the privilege of chairing the shadow development board of The Sick Children's Trust for over a year now and have seen first hand the incredible work the charity does.

The mission is simple: to provide a home away from home for the families of critically ill children to enable families to stay together during some of their toughest moments.

When a child suddenly becomes ill, there’s no time to plan. We're here to give families one less thing to worry about by giving them a place to stay, free of charge just minutes from their child’s bedside.

It costs just £40 to support a family for one night - so every donation really does make a difference.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
