Description: We are looking for responsible people to help out with our fundraising activities.
Services delivered: Francis House offers five branches of care – Homecare, Day care, Respite Care, End of Life Care, and Palliative Care.
The Homecare team cover emergency situations, by providing a break when children need specialised medical procedures, which family members feel unable to carry out. We also support parents whose child is seriously ill in hospital, allowing families to choose their preferred place of care. Children and families can come to Francis House for day care. In addition we endeavour to provide ‘fun’ days during the holiday periods to allow families a day out and a break from the holiday problem of entertaining the children.
