Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am walking a half marathon on August 23rd to raise money for the Haven House Children’s Hospice.

Haven House Children’s Hospice is a special place where seriously ill children and their families receive extraordinary care.

Being told that your child is seriously ill is devastating. This is why Haven House Children’s Hospice is there. Their support is a vital lifeline to hundreds of children and their families each year. Haven House’s care is unique and tailored to the needs of each family they serve. The compassionate care they provide helps these extraordinary children make the most of every day.

Creating lasting memories Haven House Children’s Hospice offers compassionate care and practical support – their care is bespoke to every child. Their services are delivered by nurses, therapists, counsellors and support workers, either at the hospice or in the home.

Any amount you can give will help seriously ill children and their families get the expert care they need.

Haven House Children's Hospice focuses on making every moment count. They create opportunities for children and families to enjoy precious moments together, offering experiences such as sensory play, music therapy, and fun activities.

Your donation helps create memories that families will hold onto forever.

By supporting Haven House, you’re playing a crucial role in brightening the lives of seriously I’ll children and allowing them to experience the simple joys that many take for granted.

£100 could cover the cost of a one-hour physiotherapy session, which helps to restore movement and function to a child affected by illness. These sessions can also provide parents with advice on how to support at home, giving them greater confidence to manage their child’s condition.

£150 could give a family half a day with a Haven House specialist play worker to make positive and enduring memories together. This could provide a family with opportunities such as a memorable day out, or the materials to make hand casts and memory boxes for special keepsakes.

£350 could pay for a four-hour respite break at the hospice allowing the parent vital time away from their caring duties and a chance to recharge. The child will have access to a sensory playroom, fully accessible playground as well as specialist care from nurses, healthcare support workers and music therapists.

Please give what you can to support the Haven House Children’s Hospice.
