We are the only organisation providing hospice care to life-limited children from across the South West:[South Gloucester, Bristol, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall & the Isles of Scilly].
They may come for planned short breaks, emergency care or end of life care and will usually be accompanied by family members.

The whole family can stay at our hospices and with a dedicated sibling support service available, this means that the well brothers and sisters can be cared for during their visit and enjoy spending time with other children in similar situations to their own.

The support we give extends to the whole family, into bereavement and beyond for as long as each family needs us.

With over 1,000 life-limited children across the South West, our support for families is absolutely vital.

That is why the building of our third hospice, Little Harbour at St Austell is so important. It will bring our care closer to home for the children of Cornwall and Plymouth. It will enable us to provide more care and support to the families who need us.

Like our other hospices, Little Harbour will offer a range of services such as 24 hour palliative care and end of life care, support for parents and well brothers and sisters, as well as help, advice and support in bereavement and beyond.

Little Harbour will cost over £5 million to build, and with the generosity of the people of the South West we are confident that this hospice will become a reality and we will be able to welcome families in 2011.
