About Us
Richard House Children's Hospice is London's first children's hospice and is a purpose built building in Beckton.
Our core purpose is to support children and young people with life-threatening or life-limiting conditions or complex healthcare needs and their families during the child or young person's journey through life to death. We focus on creating positive experiences along the way - which become good memories for the future.
Our services are wide-ranging, completely free to families and tailored to the multi-cultural communities which we serve in east and north London. Each year we need to raise £3.1million to keep Richard House open.
St Joseph's Hospice exists to help people live life to the full, to the very last. It has been enhancing lives, easing pain and bringing comfort and understanding for more than a hundred years.
St Joseph's broad range of services enriches the lives of patients and their families from the diverse communities of east and north-east London. St Joseph's end-of-life care is available to all those who can benefit from it: we work to meet all the needs of our patients, including those which reflect their ethnic, cultural or religious heritage.
All services are provided free. St Joseph's is a charity and depends on the generosity of its supporters to enable it to continue its work.
