We support more than 750 local families who are either caring for a child with a life limiting illness, or whose child has died. It costs £7.5 million every year to run our services which include, respite care, bereavement support, end of life care and sibling support. Approximately two month’s income comes from statutory sources and for the other 10 months of the year we are dependent on public support. Our ambition is to raise an additional £2.5 million each year to make sure we reach every child, mum, dad, brother and sister who needs our help in this area.
