Christmas

Help support the families of Francis House this Christmas.

Can you give a gift to Francis House this Christmas?

Give a gift this Christmas and help to bring care, support and friendship to local children with life-limiting conditions and their families.

Francis House is Greater Manchester’s children’s hospice. We help children, young people and families live every moment to the full, embracing joy and happiness and helping them be themselves in a warm and welcoming home from home.

Family is at the heart of everything we do. Because it’s not simply a seriously ill child who lives with a life-limiting condition, but their brothers and sisters, parents and carers too.

Supporting Francis House means we can fill more and more challenged lives with love, smiles and happiness.

Francis House is a real safe haven, filled with love. It’s a very special place that we couldn’t live without. You could be going through a really difficult time, and it gives you a chance to breathe. Jen - Florence's mum
