Alongside @Tog4ShortLives we call on the new government to protect funding for seriously ill children and their families. Their report shows that local NHS children's hospice funding is down while running costs soar. Follow the link to learn more: togetherforshortlives.org.uk…

We love getting creative, especially if it involves a bit of mess, and had the chance to do just that at our Wiltshire hospice over the Easter holidays when Geraldine Francis Ceramics came to visit. What do you think of our creations?

Smile! We're half way through the week 😀 Some gorgeous smiles from Skye on a recent hospice session, where we listened to music, sang nursery rhymes, and explored the new sensory room.

The @Morrisons and @Tog4ShortLives partnership has now raised £8 million since starting in February 2022! The partnership supports children’s hospices, like Julia's House, so that we can care for families like Williams.

You don’t need to be a make-up artist to work here, but it helps! Carmela helped her carer ‘brush up’ on her skills recently, and we think she did a fantastic job! Speaking of fantastic jobs, discover your new career at our open morning on 18th May: bit.ly/3U2TT02

We'd like to say a big thank you to families who joined our Easter Tail! Despite the rain and wind everyone had a great time and we're pleased to say you helped the Easter Bunny find ALL of his eggs. Big thanks to event sponsors @nucleuswrap, and our volunteers over the weekend.
