Learn more about us

Bluebell Wood is one of only 53 children's hospices in the UK. We care for over 200 children and young people in our hospice and in the community from across South Yorkshire, North Derbyshire, North Nottinghamshire and parts of North Lincolnshire. Our highly specialist care team look after children and young people with a vast range of complex medical needs. We support the whole family on their life journey offering respite care, day care provision, community support, 24 hour urgent response and end of life treatment and care. Sibling support is also at the heart of our work; as well as counselling and bereavement services, hospice at home and befriending. It costs over £3 million a year to provide this vital service to children, young people and their families, and we receive less than 10% government funding. In addition, we run 250 sessions a month for children and their families. These include play and music therapy, bereavement counselling and sibling support groups.
