Julia's House

Julia’s House is your local children’s hospice, looking after the most seriously ill children in Wiltshire and Dorset. These children need 24 hour care for their complex and often rare medical conditions, which puts a huge amount of pressure on their families. Their conditions are often incurable and many are sadly not expected to live beyond early adulthood. Our dedicated team of nurses, carers, therapists, family support workers and hospice doctors provide a lifeline of care. We offer clinical, emotional and practical support and essential respite breaks to give exhausted families time out from round-the-clock care, helping to prevent them from reaching breaking point. Each family we support can tailor the care they receive in whichever way suits them best. Crucially, Julia’s House supports the whole family and not just the seriously ill child – we’re there for parents, siblings, grandparents. Julia’s House relies on public donations, fundraising and legacies for 92 per cent of the money needed to keep providing our vital care – we receive only eight per cent Government funding. Without the support of the local community, we would not be able to run this critical service for the growing number of families in Dorset and Wiltshire that depend on our care and support.
