East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH)

East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) is a leading charity dedicated to providing exceptional care and support for children with life-threatening conditions and their families across East Anglia. Established in 1997, EACH has grown to become a vital resource for families facing the challenges of serious illness.

The organisation operates three hospices: The Nook in Norfolk, the Treehouse in Ipswich, and the Milton hospice in Cambridge. Each facility offers a warm, welcoming environment where families can find respite, support, and expert medical care.

EACH’s core mission is to enhance the quality of life for children and young people with complex health needs. This is achieved through a range of services including:

• Short breaks: Providing families with much-needed respite care.
• End-of-life care: Offering compassionate support during the most difficult times.
• Emotional support: Helping families cope with the emotional challenges of caring for a seriously ill child.
• Community outreach: Engaging with local communities to raise awareness and provide education about palliative care.

In addition to direct care services, EACH also focuses on advocacy and raising awareness about the needs of children with life-limiting conditions. The charity relies heavily on donations and fundraising efforts to sustain its operations and continue providing these essential services.

With a dedicated team of healthcare professionals, volunteers, and supporters, EACH strives to ensure that no family has to face the challenges of childhood illness alone. Their vision is to create a world where every child with a life-threatening condition can live life to the fullest, surrounded by love and support.
