Charity: Samuel's Charity
We support seriously and terminally ill children in hospital and at home in the UK. Helping children and their families through one of the worst times of their lives in hospital - we provide entertainment equipment, games, sensory equipment, craft supplies and essential pain reducing medical equipment - whatever the children on the wards need to make it through each day. At Home - we enable children to leave hospital (around 15% of children with serious conditions are clinically able to leave but due to lack of support and/or funding they can't leave the ward) and then support the children and family once they are home. This increases the quality of care the child receives, reduces depression and isolation, hugely increases the family's ability to begin to heal and, with the child at home, frees up the bed for another child who urgently needs care.
