Children's Hospices across London
Support for children and families across London, from diagnosis onward.
The hospices that form CHaL care for children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions and provide support and respite for their families. Our hospices tailor the care they offer to the needs of each individual child, focusing on quality of life and supporting the whole family from diagnosis through life until death. We also support families during the bereavement process.
Many of the conditions faced by the children we support are genetic and extremely rare, and some children may live for many years into adulthood.
Children's hospices exist to help these children live life as fully as possible. We look beyond a child's medical needs to discover what makes them sad, what makes them smile and what makes them laugh, creating environments where they can be children, not just patients, and where families can come together to create memories and precious moments.
Government funding covers only around 15% of the support we need, so we rely on donations and fundraising.
