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. Naomi House seek to raise £9.2 million each year to run the 2 units, with less than 11% of income coming from the Government and other statutory bodies. As a result, they rely on the generosity of people in the community like yourselves 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.

We work closely with Naomi House and the children and families they support, and see first hand how crucial this support is to our most vulnerable. Because we know how important this facility is our team of 10 have decided to attempt to walk 26 miles overnight on 11th September 2021 from Salisbury to Winchester, to raise as much money as we possible can. This will be a challenge for many of us whose current daily activities consist of walking to the kettle and back, perhaps a couple of miles walking the dog, or walking the children to school!!

Most of us will never directly know or experience the enormity of what Naomi House provide so please, please dig deep to help and encourage us to complete this mammoth task and to ensure their valuable support continues. Many thanks!!
