Helping terminally ill children live life to the full

Helen House is open again

Sponsor our Care Team

Members of our Helen & Douglas House Care Team are taking on the Oxford Half Marathon dressed as giant beds. As the Oxford Half Marathon's Headline Charity Partner, Helen & Douglas House will have its biggest-ever presence at the event, with more than 300 runners taking part to support children and families across the region.

The hospice's dedicated Care Team Challenge aims to highlight the invaluable role children's hospice care plays in helping families make the most of every moment together. They’re aiming to raise £200,000 to help cover the cost of a hospice bed for an entire year.
