Story
The only service of its kind in NI, Children's Hospice cares for over 370 babies, children and young people each year at our dedicated Children's in-patient unit - Horizon House and in our local communities through our Specialist Community Nursing Team. Our work also extends to families, supporting them from the point of diagnosis right through to the grieving period after bereavement.
We receive a small amount of government funding, so we rely on the generosity of our local community to help us to continue to deliver our vital service.
We are fundraising in memory of 2 special babies Enda and Muireann to raise as much as we can, help us to reach our target of £20,000.
Both babies died from a condition known as Edward’s Syndrome and were in the care of the Children’s Hospice. Their parents continue to receive care from the hospice. The hospice has recently received the devastating news that funding has been cut resulting in bed space being reduced at the facility.
This makes our task all the more important as we take on the 410 mile cycle
