EACH

EACH aims to maximise the quality of life for children with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition and support their families. East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) has three children’s hospice care services based at Milton in Cambridge, Ipswich and the local one at Quidenham in Norfolk. EACH is a registered charity which relies on public support for around 80% of its required income of approximately £5 million a year. EACH help local life-threatened children and their families with the emotional and physical challenges they face by providing expert care and a range of other essential support in a home-from-home environment or in the comfort of their own home.
