2023 is a special year for Julia’s House. It is our 20th anniversary. We have been providing life-changing care for the most seriously ill local children and their families for two decades. Care that is critical for families struggling to cope but would never have been there, if it wasn’t for Julia’s House.
Inspired by paediatric nurse, Julia Perks’ dream to help families struggling to care for a child with a life-limiting condition and founded by her friend Mike Wise, with your help we have been able to provide our essential care and family support to around 400 families over the last 20 years.
Helping us celebrate this special year is Natasha Valentine, Julia Perks’ daughter, and our Anniversary Ambassador for 2023, who has watched us all help to20 years – a lifeline of careour 20th anniversary realise her mum’s dream.

We want to thank everyone who has helped and supported us in Dorset and Wiltshire and beyond. Everyone who has given to our appeals, fundraised, taken part in our events, donated to our shops, played our lottery, left a legacy and just been there for us, so we could be there for the local families who need us the most. We couldn’t have done it without you.
