Hi there,
We at Acciona are hoping to make a small difference to this wonderful charity. Through taking part in the 5K Tough Mudder event we are trying to raise £3k for Haven House and support the families that need specialist care for their children at the toughest of times.
Haven House Children’s Hospice helps families by providing specialist nursing care and emotional support in a warm and loving environment and when times are tough. They care for seriously ill babies and children in their hospice and at home.
No family should have to face alone the difficulties of looking after a child with a serious illness. Haven House provides round the clock care at their hospice, surrounded in beautiful grounds and woodland, in Woodford Green and through their outreach services in the home and local community. They provide; day care, over-night stays, end of life care, bereavement support, as well as life enriching activities such as sensory play, music therapy and physiotherapy.
In their own words: "We provide care and support where and when our families need us. Hospice care does not mean that a child is near to the end of their life, we are here from the time a devastating diagnosis is made to help our families have choice, quality of life and to make the most of the precious time they have together".
This is what families say:
"From almost day one right to the time we said goodbye, the wonderful team at Haven House were by our side".
"Watching our son improve every day has brought real hope".
"Our son was so precious to us no matter how short his life was. Taking him to the hospice, other people cared for him and loved him too. The staff gave his life value, and this was so special to us."
"Cancer took my toddler's sight. Haven House meant it could never take his smile".
Please support our efforts by making a secure online donation and by posting a message of support.
