We provide practical and emotional support to help families with life-limited children

Story

I am taking on this challenge because I want to help other families like mine, facing unimaginable heartbreak - the knowledge that their child may not live into adulthood.

Also to raise awareness that future care for some families is in jeopardy because the government will stop providing 8% funding grant to children's hospices next year!!

Julia’s House provides frequent, flexible care for children with life-limited or life-threatening conditions to give their parents a much-needed break.

Amazingly, Julia’s House has to raise 93 per cent of the money it needs each year to run this vital service which is why I have chosen to support them. Your kind sponsorship will make a life-changing difference to these families.
