The story of the James Hopkins Trust.
James Hopkins was born in Gloucestershire Royal hospital on the 17th of September 1987, but his life was cut tragically short and he died aged just 20 months on the 29th May 1989.
James' life may have been short but it was not without purpose. When he died he left a circle of family and friends, inspired not just with the desire to keep his memory alive, but also to do the best they could to help children like him. The simple basic principle behind James' parents inspired vision was to enable children to be cared for at home so that other families could experience the same love and bonding that they were able to share with James.
The Trust was born out of James' memory and became a registered charity (No. 1000870) on 11th November 1990.
Since 1989 we have helped over 350 children and families, in every corner of the county, to the staggering amount of over 150,000 hours of nursing - all of it free to those that needed it. Put another way, this is 75 years at 38 hours a week for a nurse - approaching three entire careers!!
