Our Children

Meet some of our wonderful children...

Harriet

Harriet is 9 years old and has severe epilepsy. She really enjoys the sensory room in the hospice especially the bubble tube and big ball. Harriet loves to give hugs and adores marmite sandwiches. Like most of our children she really enjoys the hospice garden.

Kaine

Kaine loves our sensory play room and likes to get involved in as many activities as possible. He has cerebral palsy and epilepsy but that doesn't stop him getting out and about. Recently, he turned up to a fundraising event at a local hair salon with his family to watch some of them have their hair styled in aid of Julia's House.

Monty

This is Monty Welstead, one of the children who enjoy visiting Julia's House on a regular basis. Monty is a charismatic and sociable little boy who loves music and people but he also has Apert's Syndrome, a craniofacial disorder.

Seren

Seren has a life-threatening heart condition, but that doesn't stop her getting stuck into lots of different activities during her sessions at the hospice. A particular favourite is the dolls' house but she also loves cooking, making things like the octopus that she made recently in an art session, and playing on the swing in our specially designed hospice garden. Seren is really looking forward to starting school soon!

Alicia

When Alicia Collins was born, doctors told her mum Cindy and dad Craig that she would not be able to move her arms and would be very brain damaged, but she would be able to smile. Happily, Alicia has proved them wrong and continues to surprise her parents with what she can manage to do every day.
