At Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice, we care for children and young adults with life-shortening and life-threatening conditions. We are currently supporting around 250 families, both in our hospice and in family homes. In just one year, Bluebell Wood provides more than 50,000 of hours of care. Our services are always developing to meet the needs of families. Short breaks, end of life treatment and care, emergency admissions, counselling, home visits and activity therapy sessions are just a few of the many wide ranging services Bluebell Wood provides. In just one year, we provide around: • 1750 short breaks • 300 emergency admissions • 315 days of end of life care • 450 home visits • 190 child day care sessions • 400 young adult sessions • 1,000 hours of support for siblings • 1,200 hours of bereavement support and counselling • and much, much more. Our building is welcoming and homely for families facing the toughest of times; our Care Team members are on hand providing specialist support tailored for each child or young adult. We have plenty of fun activities for families to create special memories together, including soft play, large gardens, a sensory room and play/music therapy areas. It costs more than £4m to keep our doors open for families across South Yorkshire, North Nottinghamshire, North Derbyshire and part of North Lincolnshire. Bluebell Wood receives around 10% of its funding from government sources. We are one of only 53 children’s hospices nationally. Demand for our services continues to grow as nationally there are estimated to be 49,000 children and young people with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition.

When you wish upon a star aims to grant the 'wishes' of children from the age of 4 to 17 years who are suffering from a life threatening or terminal illness. When You Wish Upon a Star has a simple mission, to grant the Wishes of children living with a life threatening illness. The charity was founded in Nottingham by Barbara White who was so inspired by a seriously ill four year old with a dream to meet Mickey Mouse that she wanted to bring smiles to the faces of many more brave and courageous children. Our Wishes have the power to transform the lives of the children and families we work with and since 1990 we have proudly granted over 17,500 Wishes across the UK.

Founded in 2006, we have a fleet of Firefly Express vehicles which provide a free shuttle transport service for patients undergoing cancer treatments at regional cancer centres using volunteer drivers. This helps those suffering from cancer, as well as their family and friends. Through kind donations from different sources throughout the years, we now have five vehicles to enable us to run this service for as many people as we can help. We exist to change cancer patients' journeys, and also to raise awareness, particularly amongst young people. Through our support and fundraisers, we increase awareness of cancer and remove the stigma and embarrasment of cancer problems in our local communities. At our Firefly events, people also meet new people, share experiences and make new friends. Please support us by following our page and sharing our work with your community.
