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.

Our gardening club volunteers took delivery of a very special gift this month - a fantastic John Deere sit on mower, which was very generously donated to us by Farol Ltd.
Matt Vellacott, Managing Director at Farol, told us "we are very pleased and proud to help such a worthy cause.”
The new mower was delivered by Farol Twyford's Manager, Barry Sharp. He kindly spent the morning with our volunteers giving them a tutorial on looking after it and showing them how to use it.
Children and families love using the outside space at our beautiful hospice and the new mower will make it so much easier to maintain our grounds for them to enjoy.
Thank you Matt, Barry and all at Farol for your wonderful and generous donation, it really will make a world of difference.
Well done to these Spartan heroes! 💪
We are so proud of the team from OpenText office in Reading who took on the mighty Spartan Obstacle Race in Henley earlier this month.
For those unfamiliar with Spartan races, they are obstacle courses that test speed, strength and endurance. The OpenText team had to conquer 20 off-road obstacles, including climbing walls, crawling under wire, traversing monkey bars, spear throws and of course lots of mud!
An amazing challenge and they managed to raise over £725! 👏
