Camilla and Catherine mark Children's Hospice Week via zoom
The Duchess of Cornwall and Duchess of Cambridge joined three of their children hospice patronages on a zoom call to mark the start of Children's hospice week. They spoke with Children's Hospice South West, Helen & Douglas House and East Anglia's Children's Hospices to hear about how Coronavirus has affected the care they are able to provide to patients and families.
The Duchesses also spoke to a family supported by EACH and the end-of-life care that their son, Fraser, and how lockdown has affected them. The Duchess of Cambridge promised to plant a sunflower in honor of Fraser when she visited the Nook, one of EACH's purpose-built buildings.
Children's Hospice Week is dedicated to raising awareness and funds for children's hospices across the U.K. While Coronavirus has affected everyone around the world, vulnerable children and their families have never needed the resources and support provided by hospices more.
If you are financially able, you can donate to Children's Hospice South West, Helen & Douglas House and East Anglia's Children's Hospices. All of these crucial organizations have emergency coronavirus funds that aim to help them better assist their patients and families through this time. xx
