Hope

Hope House is a Children's Hospice in Morda near Oswestry Shropshire.
They provide practical and emotional support to families facing the pain of losing a child.
I know today's post is not directly linked with Transition because not all families will fall into this category but I felt I wanted to mention Hope House as it is very dear to my heart.
Our daughter visited Hope House for 9 years and we found the support from staff there invaluable.
A child can be referred to Hope House from the time of diagnosis.
There is a social work team based here to help families with what ever obstacles are facing them including growing up and facing Transition,with today's wonderful doctors and consultants children with severe medical conditions who in the past would not have survived to reach adult hood are now reaching that milestone and Transition has to move with this as well and offer care which has never been known before.

Tomorrow evening I feel privileged to have been asked to do a short after dinner speech about what Hope House does and how it helps families at their annual ball :)
