Our services
We understand that having a child with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition can impact on everything you do. That’s why we care for the child and the whole family.
Our holistic approach is bespoke for every child and family in order to provide the best possible care and support that they need.
As well as the clinical care, we open up opportunities for children and their siblings to experience fun, joy and adventures, and help families make precious memories for as long as they have.
Respite care
Specialist play
Symptom management
Family support
End of life care
Bereavement support
Need our help?
The word hospice should not seem scary and getting support from us doesn’t have to mean a child’s death is imminent. Helping to enrich the lives of the children and their families is at the heart of our service, our end of life and bereavement support is just a part of what we do.
Our children’s hospice service covers the whole of Berkshire and into surrounding counties. If you think your child may be eligible for our services, please do get in touch.

What a super active and fun summer we have had with our sibling groups!
Here’s just a snapshot of what we got up to when our friends at E.L. Fitness and Get-Pro Academy visited the hospice.
