We understand that caring for a child with a serious illness can be physically and emotionally demanding. That’s why we offer respite care, providing parents and caregivers with essential breaks while ensuring the children receive expert, personalised care in a safe, comforting environment.
Our Vision: Every young child living in Gloucestershire who is severely disabled, life-limited or life- threatened will have access to specialist respite care and support to help enrich their lives and the lives of their families.
James Hopkins Trust believe that every child deserves to experience joy, laughter and love, regardless of their complex medical needs, diagnosis or condition. For over 30 years, we have been dedicated to providing unwavering support to children in Gloucestershire who are life-limited or life-threatened, empowering them to live life to the fullest.
Our mission is simple: to provide family-centered care and support adapted to the children’s individual needs, either at Kites Corner or in the home.
We understand the strain and struggle that can come with caring for a severely disabled child. Without support, many parents find it hard to find any form of respite, as they can struggle to leave the house because of the severity of the child’s disability. Under such pressures, families can fall apart, and that is why we are here, to provide them with the support both the family and their child deserves.
“The children are at the heart of everything we do”
