Alexander Devine Childrens Hospice Service was founded in 2007 by Fiona and John Devine in memory of their son Alexander. Alexander was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour aged just four, he sadly died four years later aged 8. Fiona and John, who live in Windsor, wanted to improve the care and support for children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions in the area as neither Berkshire or Buckinghamshire had a childrens hospice.

Our supported children (aged 0-19 years) have a range of complex physical, neurological and medical conditions, a significant proportion of whom have physical, mental and/or audio-visual disabilities. There are over 600 children throughout Berkshire alone and a further 670 children from the surrounding counties with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and we are the only charity from Berkshire providing a hospice service in the community.
