We provide specialist nurses and support for seriously ill children

What We Do

For many families, the road to diagnosis is complex and uncertain, juggling hospital visits, managing medications, and navigating treatments and tests. They are often under the care of multiple specialists, across different hospitals.

Navigating this challenging world can be daunting. That is where our marvellous Roald Dahl Nurses come in - ensuring that families no longer have to face their illnesses alone.

Roald Dahl Nurses are a vital lifeline to the whole family, coordinating care and providing access to emotional support. They help families feel less overwhelmed and isolated and more in control.

We believe every seriously ill child deserves a Roald Dahl Nurse.

 
Our Roald Dahl Nurse was such an important person to have in our life when we needed support most.
