Rotary Clubs in Great Britain and Ireland have raised £750,000 for children’s hospices
in the last year.
The partnership between Rotary International in Great Britain 
and Ireland and the Association of Children’s Hospices aimed to raise funds and 
awareness of children’s hospices. Many Rotary Clubs have formed links with their
local children’s hospices and their support will continue in the future. As well
as fundraising Rotarians are giving thousands of hours of volunteer time, helping
hospices in a variety of ways.

As well as the local work with individual hospices, many Rotary Clubs have also 
been supporting the work of the Association of Children’s Hospices and more than
£20,000 has been raised for the Association to help with the work they undertake
centrally. The partnership has also raised awareness of children’s hospices, which
is crucial, especially in the development of new hospices such as in Dublin and 
Bristol.

There are currently 26 fully operational children’s hospices in the United Kingdom
and another 13 projects with plans at various stages to establish a children’s hospice
service.
