Little Havens Children's Hospice provides care for children who are life-limited, are life-threatened or have palliative care needs. What this means is that the child has been diagnosed with a condition, meaning that their life may be shortened.
We can care for children and young people under the age of 19. If you are over this age, please see our Fair Havens Care page. We care for children, young people and their families from Essex and the surrounding London boroughs.
The child may still be receiving treatment which aims to cure but where there is a risk that this treatment may fail. Equally the child may be receiving treatment which aims to prolong their life.
Little Havens seeks to provide care along with the professionals already involved in the child's care and being referred to Little Havens does not mean that these treatments will stop.
Little Havens also has a Supportive Care Team which offers support to children, young people and their families for as long as it is needed.
We have specific criteria to assess each child's needs and we will work with your child's doctors to determine whether they are suitable for the care we can provide.
If you have any questions please call our Care Team confidentially on 01702 552200.
