For families caring for a baby, child or young person with a life-shortening or life-threatening condition, Christmas can feel very different. Behind the festive lights, families may be facing isolation, exhaustion, grief, financial pressure and complex care needs. Children need moments of wonder and joy, siblings need to feel included, parents need a trusted community close to home, and bereaved families need gentle support to keep love and memories shining.

Forever Colours Children’s Hospice will bring colour, comfort and care to children’s hospice families this Christmas. We will provide specialist play, festive family events, gifts and activity packs, sibling support, parent groups, advocacy, home and community support, and compassionate bereavement care, helping families feel less alone and creating precious moments of magic, connection and memory-making that sparkle long after Christmas has passed.
