Northern Ireland Children's Hospice Fundraiser

In late January 2024 parents were informed that cuts were happening in the NI Children’s Hospice due to poor government funding. These parents are struggling to comprehend what this may mean for their children and their families. This service is an essential life line for many and their only form of respite care.

Our current financial climate means many charities and organisations are crying out for money to survive; I am going to help this charity, I have experience through friends of how vital this service in and we need to help them.

The only service of its kind in NI, Children's Hospice cares for over 370 babies, children and young people each year at our dedicated Children's in-patient unit - Horizon House and in our local communities through our Specialist Community Nursing Team. Our work also extends to families, supporting them from the point of diagnosis right through to the grieving period after bereavement.

We receive a small amount of government funding, so we rely on the generosity of our local community to help us to continue to deliver our vital service.
