Family support

Our Patient and Family Support Team works with the families and children of patients at our hospice during the patients’ illness and afterwards.

We work one-to-one with children, young people and adults. We also run a relatives’ group and a group for parents whose children need our help.

Our patient and family support team includes the hospice chaplain, social workers and volunteers who have been trained to offer bereavement support.
