About us
Richard House Children’s Hospice supports children and their families in East London to lead as positive and happy a life as possible when dealing with a life-limiting health condition. Our services support the whole family, from residential clinical care, to music therapy to end of life care.
Every gift, no matter how large or small, has an impact. Here’s how your gift could make a difference:
£10,000 could fund the complete running costs of Richard House for one day, offering tailored services to all of our families and seriously ill children, upholding our mission to support a positive and dignified journey through life to death at whatever stage a family is at.
£4,108 could provide a weekend respite stay for a child with complex health needs, meaning their family can have a much-needed rest from primary care responsibility and have some focused quality time with other siblings.
£550 could fund new and updated sensory equipment at the hospice, offering the gift of exploration and communication to a child with sensory needs by allowing them to express themselves and connect with the world around them.
£250 could provide a virtual therapy session for a child such as Music Therapy, helping a child to express themselves and communicate with those around them through a musical language; a heart-warming way for families to engage with their child.
£82 could fund one hour of complex care and supervision for a child with a life-limiting health condition, such as cancer or muscular dystrophy, helping them access a life without limits through the specialist care of our Richard House team.
