Next Year's Charity Book!
We are delighted to announce that Children's Hospices UK is the Bridge House Charity for 2011
It’s every parent’s worst nightmare to
be told their child will die before them. But for an estimated 25,000 families
across the UK,
this is a reality. Some of these
children will die when they’re very young; others will deteriorate slowly over
a number of years. In most cases, full-time care falls to the parents – 24
hours a day, seven days a week. The
families affected are under huge emotional, physical and financial strain.
Children’s hospice services help
children and families to deal with all the emotional and physical
challenges that face them and to help these children make the most of life. They welcome the whole
family for a break in friendly, homely surroundings and provide practical help
in people’s own homes. They offer a wide range of services including specialist
care, 24-hour telephone support, advice and information, and bereavement
support for all family members.
Children's Hospices UK is the
national charity that gives voice and support to all children’s hospices.
Bridge House Publishing is delighted to be able to work with this special charity and through writing hopes that maybe it will help make the lives of these families a little better.
Look out for a competition later in the year for a child to design the cover and you will get the chance to vote for your favourite, with a donation to Children's Hospice UK with every vote.
Runners up may get to see their work in a special downloadable picture book with other artists next year.
