Story
Naomi House & Jacksplace are hospices for children and young adults with life limiting conditions and life threatening conditions.The charity provides care to people living in communities across the seven counties of central southern England.The charity has two specialist units: Naomi House for children, and Jacksplace for teenagers and young adults. Each unit offers an appropriate environment for each age group. Services offered include respite care, emergency care, end-of-life care and ongoing bereavement support. We seek to raise £9.2 million to run the two units each year, with less than 11% of income coming from the Government and other statutory bodies. As a result, we rely on the generosity of people in the community like yourself to continue its work. Your support enables the charity to provide these crucial care services, free of charge, to children, young adults and their families, so thank you!
