Hit the track and make a difference to local children like Meriel
Helen & Douglas House has been caring for local terminally ill children and their families since 1982. We help children and their families at our hospice, at home and in hospital with respite stays, pain relief, symptom management, end-of-life care and bereavement support.
We rely on the generosity of the public to keep our doors open, with voluntary donations from individuals making up a large portion of the funding we need to run the hospice service.
Your participation in our fundraising events makes a real difference to us and will transform the lives of the children and families we support.
