Did you know that Children’s hospices rely on grants and charitable donations to provide vital services to children and their families - from play to medical care, to respite care and advocacy? Without services such as these provided to my family and our daughter, I don’t know how we would have coped during her short life. Community NHS support is a postcode lottery with long waiting lists, so the closure of a children’s hospice should worry everyone - even if you’re fortunate enough to never need one. What can you do? ✅ Support your local hospice by taking part in fundraisers, volunteering or donating. £40 provides an hour of nursing care ✅ Follow and support charities like Together for Short Lives, which further supports families of children with life-limiting conditions (for example, we were gifted a mini break to make memories and received the Butterfly Fund to assist with funeral costs) ✅ Write to your MP and sign petitions to ensure vital services aren’t lost and vulnerable children can live their lives with dignity and care.
Zoe's Place Baby Hospice, Liverpool 's decision to close at the end of 2024 is very difficult for the children and families who receive care from the hospice, the staff who tirelessly provide it and all those in the local community who support it. We know that this will have been a very challenging decision for Zoe’s Place’s trustees to make too. Our thoughts are with them all at this difficult time. Together for Short Lives commits to working with professionals and services in Merseyside to help make sure that the children and families affected by this decision can access the palliative care they need, when and where they need it.

Every childhood needs magic, no matter how short it might be. Today on the international day of children’s palliative care, we are launching a new short film: Childhood Needs Magic. Narrated by Dr Ranj Singh, the film introduces four children supported by NHS and children’s hospice professionals from Noah's Ark Children's Hospice, Jessie May and Havens Hospices. This new film shines a light on children’s palliative care and shows that expert support to children who are likely to have short lives, when and where they need it, brings magic to children’s lives. Unfortunately inaccurate perceptions of children’s palliative care are compounding challenges families with seriously ill children experience, leading to isolation. No matter how short a life is, with the right support, seriously ill children can experience the joy, fun, and magic that every childhood needs. Please watch and share.
