Helen and Douglas House Children's Hospice

Helen & Douglas House helps local families cope with the challenges of looking after a terminally ill baby or child. The hospice is a home from home for local terminally ill children and their families. They provide round-the-clock care in a warm, loving environment. Helen & Douglas House is a peaceful place where families can create happy memories in their last days, weeks, months or years together.

In March Helen & Douglas House started a new project to transform their garden.

The renewed outdoor space will include new sensory play equipment and swings, as well as special areas for use by different aged children. A wonderful new water feature, comfortable seating areas, a beautiful new flower garden and a herb garden are all planned. By the end of June they hope to have the garden renewed and reopened so more families can use the space at any one time. This requires a lot of volunteers to work alongside the professionals who are giving their expertise, so we've been recruited to help out.

Please bring your own gardening gloves.
