Charity number: 517919 (England & Wales)

Martin House opened in 1987 to provide family-led care for children and young people with life limiting conditions. We share with families the care of their child and offer respite care, symptom control, emergency and terminal care at Martin House or in the family home. Care is offered to any family with a child or children with a life threatening illness. We welcome all the family, giving them a break together or time to themselves in a comfortable home from home atmosphere. It is a place of love and understanding, of fun, laughter and friendship – where parents can have a full night’s sleep and recharge their batteries.
