So what is Naomi House?

www.naomihouse.org.uk

We are proud to be fundraising for Naomi House children's hospice and jacksplace, which is one of only 4 young person’s hospices in the UK. Naomi House and jacksplace provide residential respite care, emergency and end-of-life care and bereavement support to babies, children and young adults with life-limiting conditions.

    

Located in the Hampshire countryside just outside Winchester and set in beautiful grounds, Naomi House has been providing care to life-limited children since 1997. Respite visits give families and carers the chance to rest and recover from the exhausting activity of caring for their child and the child can take part in a wide variety of experiences including play sessions, music therapy and trips out.

jacksplace is the new hospice unit that has recently been built next door to Naomi House and provides an environment specifically designed for young people with life-limiting conditions to provide as much privacy, independence and dignity as possible for the young people who come to stay.

It costs around £5 million a year to run Naomi House with less than 15% of their income coming from the Department of Health – the remainder comes from charitable donations and other fundraising.

Please join us in helping Naomi House continue the sterling work they do in providing such excellent services and care for young people like Darryl (below).
