Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice Service is a charity that provides specialist care and vital support to children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions, and their families, across Berkshire and into surrounding counties.
Our holistic approach is tailored for every child and family in order to provide the best possible care and support that they need, as well as helping them create memories, for however long they have together.
Whether it is at our children’s hospice in Maidenhead or out in the community in a family’s home, hospitals or schools, we can offer: Respite care, Specialist play, Symptom management, Family support, End of life care and Bereavement support.
The charity was founded by John and Fiona Devine in memory of their son Alexander, who sadly passed away from a rare brain tumour in 2006 at the age of eight. Their personal experience and extensive research led them to realise the desperate need for a local children’s hospice service with a hospice facility in Berkshire,
