The Sick Children's Trust is the charity that gives families with a sick child in hospital one less thing to worry about by giving them a place to stay and someone to talk to free of charge just minutes from their child's bedside.
The Sick Children's Trust was founded in 1982 by Dr Jon Pritchard, working at Great Ormond Street Hospital, and Professor James Malpas, from St Bart's Hospital.
On average, two million children every year require treatment and often must go to specialist hospitals far from home.
Keeping families together significantly improves the recovery of seriously-ill children.
The Sick Children's Trust provides families with a sick child free high-quality "Home from Home" accommodation, as well as practical and emotional support, so that families can be there for their child.
