Story
Jessie May Children’s Hospice at Home is a charity that provides exceptional palliative care and support to children with life-limiting conditions, and their families, in their own homes. Currently supporting around 180 families across Bristol, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset, Bath & North East Somerset, as well as Swindon & Wiltshire
Over the last decade, more and more children have been referred to Jessie May than ever before. Their medical needs have become ever more complex and as a result, the clinical care Jessie May nurses provide is becoming more specialist, especially at end-of-life. Jessie May also provide bereavement support to the family when their child dies.
Today our team of nurses delivering care in the home stands at 16, to fund just 1 of them costs from £41,000.
They have been providing free specialist at home support since 1996, and it is only through the generosity of supporters that they can continue to be there for families.
