About The Sick Children’s Trust

The Sick Children’s Trust is a UK-based charity dedicated to supporting families with seriously ill children who are receiving treatment in hospitals. Established in 1982, the organisation provides essential accommodation and support services to families during their most challenging times.

With a mission to ensure that families can stay close to their children while they receive medical care, The Sick Children’s Trust operates several ‘Homes from Home’ located near major children’s hospitals across the UK. These homes offer a safe and comfortable environment, allowing families to rest and recharge just minutes away from their child’s bedside.

In addition to providing accommodation, the charity also offers emotional support, practical assistance, and a sense of community for families facing similar challenges. Volunteers play a crucial role in the organisation, helping to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere in the homes.

The Sick Children’s Trust believes that no family should have to face the trauma of a child’s illness alone. Their vision is to ensure that every family has access to the support they need, regardless of their circumstances. Through fundraising efforts, partnerships, and community engagement, the charity continues to expand its reach and impact.

By raising awareness about the challenges faced by families with sick children, The Sick Children’s Trust aims to foster a greater understanding and support within the community. They invite individuals and organisations to join them in their mission to provide comfort and care to those in need.
