A few facts about us
Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice provides care and support to families who have a child who has a life limiting condition and is not expected to live into adulthood. We support the whole family, both at our site in North Anston, and in families’ own homes. There are only 40 children’s hospices in the country, so the area we look after covers all of South Yorkshire, North Derbyshire, North East Lincolnshire and North Nottinghamshire.
The help we give to families depends entirely on their needs, but can cover:
- Residential stays in the hospice, where a child can be looked after and mum and dad can have a break too
- Day care services
- Help in families’ own homes
- Accompanying families to hospital visits
- Looking after brothers and sisters
- End of life care and support
- Friendship, and a helping hand whenever it is needed
It costs £2.5 million every year to provide this service to families in the region, and Bluebell Wood receives no statutory government funding.
