Objectives

East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) delivers all-encompassing, lifelong care that includes a comprehensive range of services to support both bereaved and non-bereaved families.

Our hospices are happy, homely places for children to be children, and a dependable, supportive and restful space for families to be families.
