Hospices are more than just bricks and mortars, they provide a multitude of services for a life limited child stretching from respite care through to adventure holidays. The hospice movement has earned admiration, endorsement and devoted support for its work with patients and their families who require palliative care for life limiting illnesses.

The issues surrounding funding for children's hospices are complex and challenging and at Fair Play we maintain that there should be greater parity of funding with adult hospices.
