Keep families together

Children in hospital need their families close by. We rely on the generosity of fundraisers to ensure families are fully supported in our Houses and remain actively involved in their child’s care.

Keep families close in 2025

The kindness you show today could stay with a family their entire lives.

Sign up for an Inflatable 5k

22 locations to choose from

We have charity places available on all 22 inflatable 5k events across the UK for a discounted registration fee of £20 per person. All we ask is that each participant raises a minimum of £100 in sponsorship.

In 2024, we supported 8,288 families across our 14 Houses …

who were living an average of 93 miles away from the hospital…

and stayed an average of 16 nights.
