Parent group
Having a child with a potentially life-shortening condition can take parents to the heights and depths of emotion; it can be overwhelmingly busy, enormously satisfying but also lonely and isolating. That's why we have days just for parents of the children and young people who use our services.
Sibling group — Time4Us
This group is for brothers and sisters of children and young people who use our services. Children aged between 5 and 15 are invited. There are three Time4Us days each year, held at the hospice, either at a weekend or during school holidays and they are very popular with our children.
It provides an opportunity for the children to have fun with others who understand how it feels to have a poorly sibling. The day always has a theme and there are lots of fun activities organised which keep the children happy and involved including, crafts, baking, animation, sports, gardening and even den building!
