Children's hospices are incredible places that help life-limited children, young people and their families. As Patron of Children's Hospices UK, I'm calling on you to be a hero and fundraise for Children's Hospice Week.

Children's Hospice Week 2012

Next year's Children's Hospice Week takes place from 18-25 May, culminating with Superhero Friday - a special hero inspired day of fundraising. Children's Hospice Week takes place every May and is the UK's only awareness and fundraising week for children's hospice services. Children's hospices up and down the country celebrate the week with a host of events and activities.

Children's Hospice Week is a fantastic opportunity to join hundreds of others in raising funds for your local children's hospice.

A big thank you to everyone who took part in Children's Hospice Week 2011!
