Not quite!

There are 99,000 children in the UK living with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition and, in fact, this is a number that is growing.

Children’s care services are therefore under pressure to provide the support and care that these children and their families need.

But with growing costs and only short-term funding committed by the Government, this pressure is rising.

That is why, with you, we are here to ensure that families get the support they need, children’s care professionals get the resources they need, and the funding the Government provides is sustainable.

Read our ten-year strategy to find out how, together, we will make this happen.
