Our hospices are places for fairytales, curiosity and exploration for the children and families we care for. They provide safe spaces where they can enjoy time together, creating precious memories.
Gardens
For children in particular a garden is a blank canvas for imaginations to run wild. For many of our children access to their garden at home isn’t possible, so our specially designed gardens enable our children and families to spend quality time together outside.
There are themed play areas for children and their siblings, as well as sensory areas that give heightened awareness of sight, smell and sound. Water fountains, scented plants and bright flowers, wind chimes and musical instruments help to spark imagination.
For parents and grandparents the gardens act as a quiet place to visit, where the beautiful surroundings help provide a calming atmosphere.
A peaceful memorial garden situated at each hospice allows families to spend time reflecting and remembering a child they have lost.
