When a child suddenly becomes ill, there’s no time to plan. The Sick Children’s Trust is the charity that gives families one less thing to worry about by giving them a place to stay, and someone to talk to, free of charge just minutes from their child’s bedside.
Our ten ‘Homes from Home’ support families from around the UK each year with a warm and comfortable place to stay and a friendly ear to listen.
Our Vision - We are working to a future where every family with a seriously ill child in hospital can stay together, close to their child’s hospital bedside.
Our Mission - We provide welcoming, comfortable ‘Homes from Home’, to keep families together when they have a sick child in hospital and kind, caring staff to support them.
Our Values -
- Passionate – We believe passionately that families with a seriously ill child in hospital should be together.
- Supportive – We care for families when they really need us and we support our staff to be the best they can be.
- Togetherness – We work together to make a difference.
- Proud – We are proud to be able to welcome all families that need us, to our clean and comfortable ‘Homes from Home’.
- Trustworthy – We are open, honest and transparent in everything we do. We spend our money responsibly ensuring that families are always at the heart of our work.
