Welcome to The Sick Children's Trust
The Sick Children’s Trust believes that no child should be separated from their family while in hospital receiving treatment for serious illness – help us to allow the most basic of medicines to work: family love and support.
Our mission is to provide high quality 'Home from Home' accommodation for families whose children are receiving hospital treatment for serious illness.
The Sick Children's Trust exists to support and promote the child's recovery and further to support the fabric and well being of the family as a whole.
