Princess Kate has penned a letter to celebrate the vital work of children's hospices during Children's Hospice Week. In her message, she highlighted the joyful and nurturing environments these institutions provide for children with severe and life-limiting illnesses. These hospices offer families a compassionate space to connect and find strength, supported by dedicated professionals who provide holistic care throughout a child's life.
The Princess emphasized that children's hospices are places that protect connections—between children and their families, and within the community. She aims to break down the fear that seeking hospice care means giving up hope, stressing that even in challenging circumstances, children can experience joy and connection.
Her patronage includes East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH) since 2011 and Tŷ Hafan Children's Hospice in South Wales since 2025. Leaders from both EACH and Tŷ Hafan expressed gratitude for her advocacy, noting her impact on raising awareness and support for their crucial work.
Candice Jones, who experienced Tŷ Hafan's care after losing her daughter Winnie, shared a personal testimony of the hospice's calming and supportive atmosphere for families facing immense challenges.
