When a child is sick, the entire family needs comfort and support.
We help families with seriously ill children stay together by providing free accommodation and support at our 14 partnered NHS hospitals.
When a child falls ill, families can find themselves at a specialist hospital far from home.
They might need to be there for weeks, months or years, in an unfamiliar city, with unfamiliar faces. Finding a place to sleep, eat and wash becomes another source of anxiety.
We are more than just a place to stay. We run free activities and events to entertain siblings and bring families together. We are there for them during difficult times and we are there to celebrate important milestones.
In 2025, we supported 8,488 families across our 14 Houses ..
who were living an average of 79 miles away from the hospital…
and stayed an average of 16 nights.
