These 2 videos give a great sense of what CHSW does and the difference it makes.
CHSW is the only children’s hospice in the South West. Our services are free to families who need us because we believe that nothing should get in the way of very sick children receiving the very best care. Below is a brief introduction to the care we provide and on the right, a more detailed and very interesting explanation of what is involved in providing children’s hospice care.
Children’s Hospice South West was founded in 1991 by Eddie and Jill Farwell after they experienced for themselves the urgent need for hospice care for children in the South West. Children’s Hospice South West now provides care for over 500 families in the South West. This care is delivered through three hospices which are centres of excellence and through outreach in the community.
"You helped us for the last five years and through the loss of our son... We couldn’t have gotten through it without you wonderful guys who go above and beyond and still continue to support us... Thank you, there are not enough words to describe how grateful we will always be."

We make a real difference
It costs around £11million to run the 3 hospices each year and we rely almost entirely on voluntary contributions. So, with little government funding, we rely on the generosity of our supporters to deliver our promise to ‘make the most of short and precious lives across the South West’.
