At the heart of the hospice are our dedicated clinical

many of the supported children and their families.
It costs £10.5 million a year to maintain our current level

service running. We employ 175 staff, including 98 nursing and medical staff,
providing hospice and community-based services to around 700 families.
Predominantly we work with families living in
the North West and South West of London and Surrey, although will accept

specialist palliative care support locally. We have a reputation for delivering
high quality care.
