We visited Little Haven's Children's Hospice and were given a tour by Peter - thank you for your time!
It is truly a special place. The atmosphere is uplifting, calm and happy. The rooms are beautifully decorated and the attention to detail is perfect. All ages of children are catered for - for example there is a fantastic art room, pool, patios with all the bedrooms, a teen den and family apartment and so on. It is not just the children that have been thought of, attention has been given to their parents and siblings. The cost for a family to stay for one week is £5000. It has given us further impetuous to raise money.
The bereavement suite was particularly moving but I found the most moving aspect was that they can provide Christmas on any day of the year if that is what the family want.
The gardens are also impressive and maintained by an army of volunteers.
Little Havens does have open days throughout the year -if you get the opportunity do visit.
