Children’s Hospice Week 2025

Children’s Hospice Week is the UK’s annual awareness week for children’s hospices and palliative care services. This year, Children’s Hospice Week will take place 16 – 22 June.

Why we celebrate Children’s Hospice Week

Children’s hospices are amazing. But what would life be like without them? At the moment, there simply isn’t enough money or staff to provide all the lifeline care seriously ill children need during their short lives.

Each year in June, we unite the children’s palliative care sector to:

  • Increase awareness of the incredible work that children’s hospices do
  • Improve understanding about children’s palliative care
  • Raise much needed funds for children’s hospices across the UK

There are so many ways to celebrate Children’s Hospice Week. Here are just a few ideas:
