Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, The Sick Children’s Trust’s ‘Make sure no child faces hospital alone’ appeal will help thousands of families this Christmas and beyond.
From 2–9 December, donations to our Big Give Christmas Challenge appeal were match-funded by our fantastic champions at AESSEAL, enabling us to raise £90,477.
Because of our supporters, an incredible 2,261 nights will be available in our ‘Homes from Home’ for families who need to stay close to their seriously ill child. These are nights filled with comfort, calm, and the reassurance of being just moments away from their child’s hospital bedside, at a time when being together means everything.
On behalf of every family that will have the gift of being near their sick child this Christmas, thank you. Your kindness has made a real difference when it mattered most.
What your support means
“Staying at Magnolia House gave us a much-needed break from the stressful ICU environment. The ward had fold-out chairs for parents, but the constant beeping monitors and alarms made sleep almost impossible. Being able to step away, even briefly, helped us rest and recharge so we could better support Riley.”
Lauren Auckland, Riley’s mum
