The hospice will use the grant, over three years, to deliver a programme of activities to their children and young people.

The programme will enable the children to enjoy fun experiences with friends and take part in activities such as arts and crafts, music, exercise and play. The programme of activities will help to improve their emotional well-being and develop their confidence and self-esteem.
