Making a lifetime of difference for seriously ill children.
We are here to make sure that the 49,000 seriously ill children and their families across the UK can make the most of every moment they have together,
whether that’s for years, months or only hours.
How we make a difference
National conference - booking now open
Join us in March 2020 for our national conference as we tackle the key questions facing our changing sector and sketch out a new vision for children’s palliative care.
Time for Change? A new vision for children’s palliative care
Our conference is the “go to” event for professionals from across the children’s palliative care sector and will address important questions including: Who is eligible for children’s palliative care and how can we adapt to the growing number of children? How can we prepare for complex ethical challenges and support our workforce? And what will children’s palliative care look like in 2030 and how do we prepare? Book your ticket today!

We are here to support professionals caring for seriously ill children, young people and families
We support all the professionals who are there for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families. We bring professionals together, share practice and offer resources and tools to support your work with children and families.
We need your help
Please give your money, your time or your voice, and help us change lives. Together we can make a lifetime of difference for seriously ill children, helping every family to make the most of every moment they have together, whether that’s for years, months or only hours.
Help us help families like the Hadmans
No family should face the heart-break of knowing their child will die young alone. Families don’t know what the future may hold and can feel isolated and lonely. Your support can allow us to help families like the Hadmans, who lost their daughter Effie to Late Infantile Batten disease when she was just six. “Together for Short Lives was there for us, when we felt lost,” says her mum Carly.
