| RICHARD HOUSE, LONDON's FIRST CHILDREN's HOSPISE |
| |
|
Richard House is London's first hospice built specifically for children. It offers care and support to children with life limiting conditions and their families. Children's hospices provide respite and terminal care, both in the hospice and at home, for children who suffer from conditions which mean they will die before they reach adulthood. There are currently only 14 children's hospices in the UK and, amazingly, until now, there have been none in London.
Originally, the Philip Green Memorial Trust donated £250,000 to build the Philip Green Day Centre at the hospice which was completed in January, 2000. Unfortunately, funds to complete the rest of the hospice had run dry and so the Trust pledged to help raise the £600,000 needed to finish this much needed facility. In the summer of 2001, the Trust completed a further £220,000 grant and saw the completion of Richard House in Beckton, East London.
