Making an impact
By supporting and speaking up for children and families, and those that support and care for them, we are driving for a better quality of life and end of life for children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions. We want to help change lives.

Alfie's story: Lighting up the room
When Alfie was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy his parents were told over the phone – we’ve been supporting the family so they don’t have to suffer alone.
- 500 families have been helped by our Covid-19 Relief Fund, with most grants being spent on living costs.
- We’ve provided 250 hours of support to families - that’s 15,000 minutes.
Thank you so much for the funding you have given Freddie. We plan to spend this on stimulating new books and toys and, perhaps even a bike if we have enough.
The Virtual Cuppas have been invaluable especially while shielding. I have been able share my fears with people who understand, and also share the precious moments too. It made me feel less isolated.
