Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice Appeal has been in operation since early 2000, the objective is to build a children's hospice for South Yorkshire and the North Midlands which will be based at Dinnington. Terminally ill children will be offered respite and terminal care to suit the needs of the individual child and their families, without the stresses and strain that go together with a standard NHS hospital. The children will be cared for by specially trained staff that will understand each child's individual needs and therefore offer the necessary support - the aim is to give the children a relaxed and warm environment, second only to their own home. Bluebell Wood have to raise 4 million pounds to build the hospice - all of which must come from public support and donations, thereafter the annual running costs will be in excess of 1.6 million pounds - This appeal is desperate for any help that can be given either through Chesterfield Children’s Charity or independently (see Bluebell Wood link below).
