Children's Hospice South West
Registered charity number 1003314
Children's Hospice South West first welcomed families in 1995 to Little Bridge House, North Devon, and opened Charlton Farm near Bristol in April 2007. We now care for almost 400 families each year. We operate the only two children's hospices in the South West offering respite, relaxation, 24-hour care of life-limited children and support for families in bereavement. The Precious Lives Appeal was launched in September 2007 to raise funds to build a third children’s hospice in Cornwall.
Children's Hospice South West offers a variety of events to participate in and raise valuable donations to support the charity. Check out the events below for more information.
