About Us
Francis House Children’s Hospice supports hundreds of extraordinary families from across the north west of England and families from over 30 Clinical Commissioning Groups receive some form of care. The hospice provides a home from home where families of children, teenagers and young adults with life-limiting conditions receive professional care, support and friendship. Francis House needs £4.7 million a year to provide its services including respite care, homecare, sibling support including activity weekends for bereaved siblings, end of life care and bereavement support. By far the largest part of funding comes through charitable donations.
