How We Work
The Sick Children’s Trust supports families, hospitals and other charities across the UK to aid the recovery of the sick child whilst receiving treatment in hospital.
Every day many families arrive in hospital miles away from their home with a sick child not knowing where they
will stay.
We support hospitals by building and equipping new houses situated within minutes of the paediatric wards. We provide house staff that work to improve the quality of life of the family whilst they endure this very stressful period. The house is a comfortable, calm and relaxing environment where family members can retreat away from the intense clinical environment. This means they are available to support their sick child without worrying about where they might be sleeping or any financial obligation and with a fully equipped kitchen they can cook meals if they wish for the rest of the family.
We support the hospital staff team; working in partnership at the highest level addressing the demand for our accommodation.
Our houses operate successfully but our resources are not unlimited; we need your help to continue to provide this vital service. Through the funds received we aim to provide for 3,500 families a year reducing anxiety and alleviating their financial burden.

"As a sick child having their family close by them will help their healing process and promote well being. It also serves as a bit of normality for the family that are going through a very abnormal time."
