Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice
Bluebell Wood is a very special place that provides care and support for babies, children, and young people and families who are affected by a life limiting or life-threatening condition. All their services are completely free for families.
A children’s hospice isn’t just about end-of-life care - it’s about living well, every day.
Children’s hospices like Bluebell Wood support babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions to make the most of life, whatever time they have.
Care is holistic, meaning it looks after the whole child and the whole family - not only medical needs, but emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing too.
Families can visit for short breaks, symptom management, therapies, play, counselling, sibling support and memory-making. Some children come for many years, growing up with a team who knows and understands them.
The focus is on comfort, dignity, choice and joy - helping families to live fully, make precious memories, and feel supported through every stage of their journey, from diagnosis through to bereavement and beyond.
Bluebell Wood supports families across South Yorkshire, North Nottinghamshire, North Derbyshire, and North Lincolnshire.
What Bluebell Wood Offers
Families are warmly invited to visit Bluebell Wood to see the hospice, meet the Care Team and discover the support and activities available. The hospice is a place filled with love, laughter and special memories - not just medical care. Referrals are simple and open to children and young people up to 19 living in South Yorkshire and nearby areas; families can self-refer or be referred by a professional by contacting the Care Team on 01909 517 360 or emailing the Family Support Team.
