What Do We Do?

Children's hospices are very special places and quite unlike adult hospices.

Some children will make visits over many years, others will be with us for only a few days or weeks.

Most of the visits are respite breaks, which give families a chance to relax while their child is cared for and has fun at the House.

Other visits are for emergencies or for end of life care.

Care For Life Limited Young People

At Naomi House, children are not only cared for - we aim to enrich, enjoy and value short lives.

"The joy of Naomi House is the life that exudes from it. Forget all preconceptions about hospices. The sound of children's laughter at play as their disabled bodies made the most of their time at this wonderful place, echoed in then corridors and gardens and was a joy to behold. A little face outside the window smiling and waving, added the reality that around this sadness and inevitability, happy lives were continuing."
