Your support matters to children like Alice

We currently support over 200 children, like Alice with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions, and their families.

“We were given information about the children’s hospice service shortly after Alice’s diagnosis. At the time it felt very overwhelming receiving the diagnosis and then talking about hospice care. Our initial thoughts were end of life care.

But our idea of the support and services Alexander Devine would provide could not have been more wrong.

A children’s hospice service is so much more than you think. Whilst the medical support and expertise is there, this is only just a small part of what the hospice service is about. 

For Alice she only knows the hospice as a place to go to have fun and see all her lovely nurse friends. She looks forward to each and every visit. 

We feel so lucky to have access to such a wonderful service.” Jo, Alice’s Mum. 

We must keep growing our services to meet the huge demand for our service and cope with the increasingly complex caseload of babies, children and young people who need our support.

Why do we #ROCKTHEBLUE?

Blue was 8 year old Alexander Devine’s favourite colour and along with his favourite animal, the dolphin, it forms part of our logo; a reminder of how this very special boy inspired our charity and without whom we would not be here today providing specialist care and support to so many children and families.

So in Alexander’s honour, we’re encouraging everyone to join the fun and #ROCKTHEBLUE with your most imaginative blue-themed challenge!
