About the host organisation
Hosted by: Forget Me Not Children's Hospice
Organisation Profile: Grace’s Place will change lives for local families who have a child with a life-shortening condition.
Learning that your child has a life-shortening condition is devastating. Suddenly everything becomes more complicated, and you’re forced to rely on all kinds of different health & social care professionals. And you may not know where to turn for support.
Grace’s Place is here to cut through all that. We will be offering care and support for the entire family – helping to make life easier, enabling you to regain a sense of control, and bringing back some of the laughter and energy you may have been missing. And opening up a whole load of new possibilities.
