Jessie May is a Bristol-based charity that provides specialist palliative care to terminally ill and life limited children, and their families, across the South West.  

The charity provides hospice at home care for terminally ill children and was set up by the parents of Jessica May Purrington, a little girl who died at home aged 4 months, surrounded by her family and her nurses.  

Jessie May has a team of dedicated nurses who provide care to children and families during a child’s life and after their death. The specialist nursing that Jessie May provides is free to families, and it costs around £1,300,000 to provide this care for every child we support.
