We are delighted to have been selected at the OFFICIAL LOCAL CHARITY for the 2014 OXFORD HALF MARATHON

Helen & Douglas House has the time and expertise to care for children and young adults with life-shortening conditions and support their families. The two hospice houses offer specialist symptom and pain management, medically-supported short breaks and end-of-life care, as well as counselling and practical support for the whole family.

Helen House opened in 1982 as the world’s first children’s hospice. Douglas House opened in 2004 specifically for young adults aged 16-35.
