Find out moreChildren's Hospices across London (CHaL) is a collaboration of four hospices that support children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions and their families, active across all 33 London boroughs and parts of the home counties.
CHaL started as an informal group of London children's hospice chief executives meeting to share knowledge, discuss issues and look for collective solutions. It was established as a charity in 2012 and has since grown to cover all children's hospice care in London and some surrounding areas.
By working collaboratively, raising awareness and funds, we make our resources go further, helping ensure every child and family facing a life-limiting or life-threatening condition has access to the care and support they need.
Government funding covers only around 15% of the support we need, so we rely on donations and fundraising.
