Thinking of hosting a toy drive?

While we truly appreciate every thoughtful gesture, Christmas at the hospice looks a little different than many people imagine.

While we truly appreciate every thoughtful gesture, Christmas at the hospice looks a little different than many people imagine.

Care at Little Havens on Christmas is about providing specialist end-of-life care for those who need us most and care at home for the children and young people so they can be surrounded by the people they love. For these children, toys aren’t what they or their families need most right now. Instead, our specialist care, support, and compassion are the greatest gifts we can give.

Instead of collecting toys, by fundraising you could help fund the expert care that gives local families precious moments together - whether that’s pain management, respite support, or helping a child spend their final days in the comfort of their own home.

The best gift you can give this Christmas is to either hold your own festive fundraiser or set up a JustGiving page and inspire others to make a festive donation.
