Christmas appeal
Bring sunshine to your local children’s hospice this Christmas by helping to create unforgettable moments.
Donate to your local children’s hospice today
This Christmas we are asking you to bring sunshine to children with serious or life-limiting conditions, and their families, in your local community.
Donate today to help families step away from the noise of everyday life and 24-hour medical care, to just be together.
Bring the sunshine this Christmas.
Finding Jude’s sunshine
Jude woke up from a coma on his tenth birthday.
He had been a happy, active boy who loved cycling, swimming and adventures with his family. But when he was nine, something started to go wrong.
Within a year, Jude could no longer walk, talk or breathe on his own. Life felt quite dark, but with Demelza’s support, Jude and his family are finding their sunshine again.
Without your support, families like Jude's will miss out on the joy that time together brings.
