Martin House
Registered charity number 517919
Martin House provides care and support to families in which there is a child or children with a short life expectancy. The Duchess of Kent opened Martin House in 1987 thanks to the generosity of thousands of people who raised money to provide family led care for children with life limiting conditions. The ongoing day to day care of the child with a life limiting illness, which may go on for a number of years, can be a physical and emotional strain on the whole family.
Martin House offers a variety of events to participate in and raise valuable donations to support the charity. Check out the events below for more information.
