Richard House Children's Hospice
Richard House Children's Hospice provides care and support to babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening health conditions.
The hospice, which was the first of its kind in London, delivers clinical care, short breaks and residential services to children and young adults. It also supports parents and family members with a range of holistic activities including parent support groups, counselling, practical training to administer care at home, and bereavement services. With a focus on living for today and creating positive memories for tomorrow, Richard House supports the whole family through the journey of their child's life.
Funding from the Berkeley Foundation helps to ensure more life-limited children can benefit from palliative care. The partnership supports training and development for the hospice’s specialist clinical staff, ensuring that their team are equipped to care for children with increasingly complex health conditions, both within the home and at Richard House.
