Forever Colours Children’s Hospice supports families facing some of life’s toughest circumstances. Founded in 2018, Forever Colours is a relatively young hospice, created to address a clear gap in support for families in the local community.
Rather than a traditional, building-based hospice, it takes a community-first approach, working directly with families where they are. The focus is on babies, children and young people aged 0 to 18 who are living with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, as well as those with profound and multiple learning disabilities.
Their work is centred around making life a little easier (and a little brighter) for both the child and their family. This includes short breaks and respite care, play therapy, sibling support, and help for parents navigating everything from paperwork to accessing funding. They also provide end-of-life and bereavement support. There’s a strong reliance on community involvement, with volunteers playing a key role in delivering support and fundraising efforts. In terms of numbers, the charity operates on a relatively modest scale, with around 15 volunteers supporting its work and an annual income of just under £200,000. It’s a small organisation with a big impact, proving that sometimes the most meaningful support doesn’t come from large institutions, but from dedicated teams working closely with the families who need them most. We donated in December during a Big Give Challenge, and we understand that our donation was doubled to £1,000 as a result.
