What we do.
The aim of the Trust is to help severely disabled, life threatened and life limited young children aged 0 - 5 years in Gloucestershire, so that the quality of their lives may be enriched. (To watch a video of our work, scroll down the page)
This aim is achieved through three objectives:
- The provision of nursing respite care either in the family home or at our daycare centre
- The provision of equipment specially adapted to the needs of the individual child
- The provision of financial help for visits to specialist hospitals outside Gloucestershire
Although all three objectives have been fulfilled many times over, by far the most important and the most in demand is Respite Care. This is the cornerstone of the Trust policy and, for a growing number of families, it is a lifeline of desperately needed support.

We still need your help
The cost of the finished building ended up above the estimates, so we we had to take out a mortgage in order to complete the work. You can help us by joining our 'Buy a brick' campaign.
