Children's Hospices UK
CANDIS CLUB SUPPORTS CHILDREN'S HOSPICES UK
Children's Hospices UK gives voice and support to the
UK's 41 children's hospice services. Support from Candis
will help the charity realise its vision for every child who is not
expected to reach adulthood to have access to the highest standards
of children's hospice care and support close to home.
Every issue of Candis magazine contains heart-warming stories about children's hospices and the families they support. To read about how cheering on their teams helps Jane Roberts, 47, and her family forget about the worry of caring for a child with a life-limiting condition click here
"The
support of Candis and its readers will enable children's
hospice services, which depend almost entirely on donations, to
continue to help children and families deal with the emotional and
physical challenges they face and to make the most of life,"
explains Barbara Gelb, chief executive of the charity.
"Together Candis and Children's Hospices UK aim to help
ensure that all life-limited children and their families have the
care and support they need for every step of their
journey."
Money received from Candis Club will help Children's
Hospices UK...
- maintain a wide range of services including specialist care, 24-hour telephone support, advice and information, and bereavement support for all family members
- continue to welcome the whole family for a break in friendly, homely surroundings and provide practical help in people's own homes
- fund nursing and care staff and support the delivery of care within every local children's hospice
- reach new families, spread the word about the vital services on offer and challenge misconceptions about children's hospices
Children's Hospices UK will receive £85,000 from Candis Club in 2010 to help provide care for sick and disabled children and their families across the UK.
