Charitable Trusts and Foundations
Support the vital work of our children’s hospice service
We are proud of the strong partnerships we have established with many trusts and foundations over the years and are keen to develop new relationships with funders who share our aims.
The generosity of charitable trusts and foundations has made a significant impact on the development of our service over the years. From funding for specific services, equipment, salaries and resources, we are hugely grateful to them for helping us in our mission to reach out to every child and family that needs us.
Recent funds that have helped us include:
The Louis Baylis Charitable Trust
The Louise Baylis Charitable Trust, which has supported us for many years and helped provide funding for essential equipment at the hospice and most recently given financial support during the COVID-19 crisis.
St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation
St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation, which has provided funding for an Alexander’s nurse for three years.
Youth Music & Jessie’s Fund
Youth Music & Jessie’s Fund have been integral in funding our music therapy programme, including our music therapist and the array of instruments the children enjoy playing.
Morrison’s Foundation
Morrison’s Foundation, which funded our Time for Play project in 2019. This covered the salary of one of our play specialists, the costs of purchasing the equipment for play sessions and taking the children out on excursions.

26 incredible volunteers 💪
460 🎄 trees collected
...and over £8,500 raised! 🙌
A MASSIVE thank you to everyone that generously supported our Christmas Tree Recycling service this year. In particular, our amazing team of volunteers who braved the wet and cold weather to collect trees from people's homes and take them to be recycled.
All the trees were taken to Berkshire College of Agriculture for recycling into chippings and are already being used with their zoo animals on site.
As well as being good for the environment, we also love that our recycling service enables us to support other local charities. As part of our service, which is run in partnership with JustHelping, we are able to nominate a local charity to receive 10% of our donations. We are delighted to choose 18th Maidenhead Scouts, who are always incredibly supportive of our charity.
What a wonderful way to kick-start 2022! 💙💛

We're embracing the blue this #BlueMonday with a look back at some of our favourite photos from last year’s #RockTheBlue campaign during children’s hospice week.
From dress up days and danceathons, to blue bake sales, raffles and even a blue treasure hunt, we had such a blast in 2021 and we could not have done it without all our amazing local businesses, schools and supporters.
Fancy rocking the blue with us this year? 💙
