“We can’t think of a better way to celebrate the start of Children’s Hospice Week, the only week in the year dedicated to raising awareness and funds for children’s hospice and palliative care services across the UK.” CHSW, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2021, needs around £11m a year to run its three children’s hospices, including Little Bridge House in North Devon, and around 85 per cent is raised through voluntary donations. While the hospices have had to close for routine respite during the pandemic, they have remained open every day for emergency and end-of-life care; care teams have extended their lifeline support by providing virtual support, and by visiting families in their own homes.
