Support & Advice
We're here to support families during long hospital stays. Our community offers a space to discuss issues and find information on charities, organizations, and government benefits. Our support directory was born out of our own experiences, understanding the frustration of searching online without clarity on what these organisations offer and if we met their criteria. We provide support in managing finances, mental health & practical advice for life in hospital.
