Little Harbour children's hospice in Cornwall

About us

Children's Hospice South West provides hospice care for life-limited children and their families from across the South West of England. We are the only children's hospice in the South West, covering Devon, Somerset and Cornwall.

The word charity only describes how this place is funded, not what it does

It is the primary service for all parents and carers of children with short lives. It is the helping hand for the worn out dad who lifts their child to bed every night, the entertainment committee for the siblings who never get a holiday, the steady voice on the phone for the weary mum with too many choices to make, the medical advice for your child's unique needs, and the ongoing hug for the grieving parent.
