Helen House was the world's first children's hospice, opening in November 1982. It was set up to help families cope by providing occasional respite care modelled on that provided in the family home.

Douglas House was the world's first hospice specifically for young adults, and was opened in February 2004.

You can support them with donations, buying gifts from their online shop or network of charity shops, or volunteering some of your time or expertise.
