 It is estimated that within our region 300 to 400 children, under the age of 18, suffer a life-limiting illness. 40 to 50 of these children will die this year. The Nicholas Trust is committed to the care of children in the final stages of their young lives. The trust aims to achieve the establishment of services and facilities specialised to the needs of palliative children and their extended families. Furthermore the trust is a voice advocating for the provision of palliative services for children. Establish: Through extensive fundraising efforts, the Nicholas Trust will support the provision of specialised services and facilities for terminally ill children and their families in the Northern Child Health Network. This will address the medical needs of the child as well as providing for the emotional and spiritual requirements of the family. Advocate: The Nicholas Trust acts as a voice to raise awareness both publicly and politically. The trust operates to ensure the commitment of the wider community to the final care of children with a terminal illness. Northern Child Health Network Maps   |
