Meet our families

Haven House Children’s Hospice cares for seriously ill babies and children by creating a safe, loving and warm environment.

Although we cannot change a diagnosis, our specialist care team are here to provide support to parents and carers who have children with complex medical needs. We are a life line for these families supporting them through their child’s illness. We are here for the whole family including mums, dads, brothers, sisters and grandparents.

Meet our families and find out how we support them.
