• Barnet pair’s high altitude adventure for charity

  Two intrepid adventurers from New Barnet, north London, have conquered the inhospitable slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro to raise nearly £2,000 for our Charity. Housemates Leo Nakhimoff, 27, and Oliver Shanks, 34, reached a height of 19,341 feet between Sunday 1 January and Friday 6 January 2012. Thank you very much, your efforts are so inspiring. Read more about their expedition here.

  

• Happy New Year

  We want to wish all our supporters and families a Happy New Year! We are very excited about 2012, as it sees the completion of two major projects in Manchester and London.

• Bring festive cheer to our Houses

  There’s no place like home for the holidays. But for some families with children in hospital, “home” isn’t gathered around their family tree. It’s being close to their sick child miles from their front door. Visit our page to find out how we support families 365 days a year, even on Christmas day and throughout December. But more importantly, find out how you can get involved and help keep families together during the holidays.
