About us
Julia’s House is an award-winning children’s hospice charity dedicated to bringing comfort and care to families across the two counties.
Each family we support is unique and so is the care we provide. When a family finds out that their child has a very serious medical condition, which is life-limiting or life-threatening, their world falls apart. Julia’s House exists to help these children and their families.
