Little Havens Children's Hospice

Little Havens Children's Hospice cares for children and their families from all over Essex. Providing specialist respite breaks, symptom control and end-of-life care for youngsters living with serious conditions and who are not expected to reach adulthood, It aims to make their journey, and that of the family as comfortable as possible, creating special memories along the way.

The love and care provided by the Care Team in the homely surroundings at Little Havens is free of charge, and as special and unique as the child. This could not continue without kind donations as it costs £ 2.4 million each year to keep the hospice open.

Our specialist services and dedicated staff are on hand to offer not only respite and end of life care, but support, advice and a helping hand through difficult times.

How we can help

• We'll support you every step of the way to make sure you have a truly memorable experience.

How you will help us

By supporting Cancer Research UK you will be helping us find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. Cancer Research UK is at the heart of cancer research, funding the work of more than 4,500 researchers, doctors and nurses throughout the UK.

• Prevention - we are at the forefront of raising national awareness on the issue of cancer. Campaigns such as the Smokefree Workplaces campaign has helped to save an estimated 600 lives a year. By promoting a healthy and active lifestyle, we can help significantly reduce cancer rates in the UK.


• Diagnosis - your money helps us to fund our three national screening programmes for bowel, breast and cervical cancers. Screening for cancer aims to find cancers as early as possible - when the chance of cure is highest. Sometimes screening programmes can find changes that would lead to cancer if they were not treated.


• Treatment - Cancer Research UK is at the heart of pioneering new clinical trials, aiming to find safe treatments with fewer side effects, to help patients feel better quicker. Our website CancerHelp UK also allows us to provide helpful information to cancer patients and their families, allowing them access to all the information and support they need.

We can't wait to welcome you on to the team. Together we will beat cancer.
