Our goal is to improve the provision of community palliative care for children and families across the UK.
We believe that every child with a life-limiting condition, and their family, should have access to a model of integrated community children's palliative care, whenever and wherever they need it.
Right now, too many families face gaps in local services. Navigating the system can feel overwhelming, especially when all they want is to focus on caring for their child at home.
The Kentown model is here to change that.
By linking to and collaborating with professionals, other organisations and Integrated Care Boards, we ensure our model provides children and their families with the right care at the right time in their own home. This is a unique, UK-wide model working with local services to create a more coordinated, accessible and family-focused approach - together for seriously ill children and their families.

Ruby's story
"Our Family Support Worker plays with the other children and we get to be a family together. Sometimes she takes my older daughters out for the day. I cannot explain how much of a difference she has made to us as a family. It has been transformative.”

Abdullah's story
"The more your voice is heard, the more you can pay attention to details that help improve your child's care. The more you feel capable as a parent, the more you can engage with the professionals and truly advocate for your child’s complex and ever changing needs."
