Children’s Hospice South West provides hospice care to life-limited children and their families from across the South West; from South Gloucester, Bristol, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, and the Isles of Scilly.
It’s the only organisation in this area to provide such care. Some families may use the hospice for many years, from the time the child is first diagnosed as having an incurable condition which will mean they will die in childhood.
They may come for planned short breaks, emergency care or end of life care, and will usually be accompanied by family members.
The whole family can stay at the hospices, and with a dedicated sibling support service available, this means that the well brothers and sisters can be cared for during their visit and enjoy spending time with other children in similar situations to their own.
The support the hospice gives extends to the whole family, into bereavement and beyond for as long as each family needs it.
With over 1,000 life-limited children across the South West, the support for families provided by Children’s Hospice South West is absolutely vital.
