Haven House Children’s Hospice is a special place for special children. We care for children and young people between the ages of 0-19 who have life-limiting conditions and complex medical needs.
Although the children have a limited life expectancy we want them to live life to the full so we aim to give parents and carers a break from the demands of caring for their children but to also give the children a stimulating time with us.
Caring for a sick child can often be challenging and it’s important that we are able to support the wider family.
The Haven House Buddies is a regular support group for siblings where they can meet, have fun and enjoy outings and workshops together. Individual support is offered for children who need extra help at difficult times.
There are also regular opportunities for parents and carers to come together such as coffee mornings, summer events and a Memory Day.
The care and support Haven House provides is delivered at no cost to the families and so we depend on your help for the majority of our funding.
“On a practical level Haven House makes our lives possible. On an emotional level it makes our lives bearable. It is a home, a very special home for very special children” - Parent
There are so many ways you can help our families. Here are just a few examples:
Friends of Haven House – join an exclusive group of people committed to supporting Haven House.
Donate a regular amount each month to Haven House.
Pay roll giving – a direct payment before tax makes this a very tax effective means of giving.
Match funding – an employer will often match any monies raised by staff.
Fundraising events and challenges – we have lots of ideas that you and your colleagues can get involved with!
Corporate support – perhaps your company would like to get involved. From recycling, to volunteering, to coming along to one of our events, there’s a whole host of opportunities.
