Together for Short Lives is the UK’s leading charity for Children’s Palliative Care. We are here to make sure that children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions and their families can make the most of every moment they have together, whether that’s for years, months or only hours.
Through our family support team and helpline we provide families of seriously ill children with emotional, financial and practical support and advice. We champion and support palliative care professionals with training and resources. We work to influence policy making and Government to secure more investment in children’s palliative care. And through working with our corporate partners we raise £millions to support local children’s hospices directly.
Our Vision is that every family caring for a seriously ill child has access to the high-quality care and support they need, when and where they need it.
With high quality children’s palliative care, seriously ill children can experience the joy, fun, and magic that every childhood needs. Because every childhood needs magic, no matter how short it might be.
