Brian House Hospice

The present Brian House Hospice is called Trinity, and provides 24 hour care for children suffering from life threatening and life limiting diseases.

The house opened in the mid 1980's and is able to accommodate 4 children as in-patients, and an additional 4 children as day patients.

Not only does it provide a home-from-home for the children in the purpose-built facilities, but it also offers a chance of much-needed respite for the carers and parents of children.

The house is equipped especially for the needs of the children and staffed by a team of skilled qualified nurses and professional social workers.

Brian House is funded purely by public donation.
