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.

This December we want to share with you some of the different ways we bring comfort and joy to the children and families that we support, all thanks to your support.
It's Day 1 and look who's behind today's door...
Life for Harry is very different to most children his age. 5 year old Harry was born with a rare neurological condition called Moebius syndrome. It means he can’t smile, blink or move his eyes. He is also very weak and can’t sit up or walk. He struggles to swallow so is fed through a peg tube.
Harry’s family are determined to make sure Harry has every opportunity to experience things other children his age do. And visits to our hospice do just that. As well as an opportunity for much-needed respite for his parents, it is also the chance for Harry to have fun, whether that is splashing in the pool, playing in the playground or enjoying music therapy.
You can help continue to bring comfort and joy to children like Harry by donating to our Christmas Appeal ➡www.alexanderdevine.org/christmas
