Charity

Naomi House is a children's hospice providing a professional palliative care service for families whose children and young people have a life limiting illness and their families from central southern England.
Naomi House childrens hospice is a charity that provides support to children and young people with conditions that mean they are unlikely to live to become adults.

The charity provides care to families living in communities across the seven counties of Berkshire, Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Surrey, West Sussex and Wiltshire.

​

​

The childrens charity has two specialist units, Naomi House for children, and jacksplace for young people. Each unit is purpose built and provides an appropriate environment for each age group. It costs around £4.5million a year to run the two units.

​

Many people get involved in fundraising for the childrens charity. Other people volunteer their time to help ensure the hospice is able to continue its work.

The support offered by Naomi House childrens hospice is unique in the central south. It delivers a range of services to help to relieve families from the day to day pressures of looking after a child or young person with a life limiting condition. Support includes respite care, end of life support, bereavement support and emergency hospice at home care.
Children and young people must satisfy our referral criteria, and be accepted by our review panel before they can visit. The team at Naomi House work in partnership with both families and professionals to include physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual support throughout the child's care pathway.

Families of children using Naomi House do not have to pay for our services. We are funded by charitable and voluntary donations and receive 7% of our funding from the Department of Health. With the opening of jacksplace we aim to arrange care packages for young people over 18, which will involve transitional care for the young person to move from Naomi House to jacksplace
