Who we are

Your support helps us care for children and young adults whose lives are sadly just too short, both in their own homes and at our hospice in North Anston.

We believe that every family deserves to make magical memories with their child, whether they have years, months, weeks or days together.

Bluebell Wood is a home from home for families facing the toughest of times, with a comfy lounge and beautiful gardens. We’re always cooking up mouth-watering meals and tasty treats in the kitchen for families. There’s also plenty of fun activities for children to try, including soft play, arts and crafts, music therapy and much more.

While they’re staying with us, children have one of our eight bedrooms. If their family is staying too, then parents have their own room.

Every day, we need to raise almost £14,000 to keep our doors open, and only around 15% of our funding is from the government. Everything else is paid for by the wonderful work that you do; whether you run, bake or even Brave the Shave.

We received an overall rating of  'Good' in our most recent inspection undertaken by the Care Quality Commission (CQC); and are proud that we received a  rating of 'Outstanding' for being a caring service. You can read our full CQC inspection report here.

You can also read our health, safety and welfare policy here.

So that’s what we do, but how did we get here? Find out by reading Our Story.

    Preston's story
