Funding to Transform Lives of Children in Hospices and Hospitals

Deadline: 18 October 2019

Maximum value: £10,000

Local and regional children’s hospitals and hospices can apply now for a grant to support projects that enrich and improve the quality of life of sick children in hospitals or hospices in the UK.

In the last 16 years, this charity has given more than £2 million in grants to 312 projects in 100 different hospitals and hospices. The funding has provided life-saving medical equipment, free family accommodation, a range of arts, music and play therapy programmes, sensory equipment and facilities and respite care.

Registered charities with charitable projects which enrich and improve the quality of life of sick children in hospitals or hospices in any area in the UK can apply. Preference is given to projects conceived by and in children’s hospitals and hospices.

Any project which seeks to improve the quality of life of sick children will be considered, for example:

  • Arts, music, play and leisure programmes.
  • Facilities to support families of children treated in hospitals or hospices.
  • Welcoming and accessible environments.
  • Care and facilities in hospices.
  • Promoting education and information programmes.
  • Supporting children with physical and emotional difficulties.
  • Medical equipment (when it can be shown that funding is not available from statutory sources).

Preference will be given to children’s hospitals and hospices in regional centres around the UK which:

  • Provide a regional geographic healthcare service to a wide range of children in a hospital/hospice.
  • Will not discriminate on the grounds of wealth, race, sexuality, religion or disability.
  • Agree to promote the work of the Charity in their area.

Funding is at the discretion of the Trustees.

Please note that the Charity has a long-standing relationship with a number of organisations to whom they are sympathetic and to whom priority consideration may be given.
