A Video Message by The Duchess of Cambridge to Support Children’s Hospice Week

Saturday 27 April 2013

As Patron of East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices I have been fortunate to see at first hand the remarkable work that they do for children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families. It is simply transformational.

There are 49 children’s hospice services across the UK, all providing similar invaluable and life enhancing care to thousands of families.

Children’s Hospice Week is a time to recognise, celebrate and support the inspirational work of those hospices, and those who provide palliative care to these children and families. Children’s hospices provide lifelines to families at a time of unimaginable pain. The support they give is vital.

In order to carry out this wonderful work, our help is needed.  With our support, those providing children’s palliative care can continue to offer these extraordinary services. It does not bear thinking about what these families would do without this.

I hope that you will join me this Children’s Hospice Week in supporting your local service. To find out more about how you can help, please visit togetherforshortlives.org.uk.

With your support, we can help ensure that these children and their families can make the most of the precious time they have together.
