About

CHASE hospice care for children provides nursing, practical, and emotional support to families with children who are not expected to reach their 19th birthday across South West London, Surrey and Sussex.  

CHASE is committed to offering a personalised service to suit each family’s individual needs.  This support is offered to families in their homes, their local communities and at our children’s hospice, Christopher’s.  

Why a Virtual Tour?

This ‘virtual tour’ was created because families often find it difficult to take the first step towards contacting or visiting CHASE, due to the daunting misconception that children’s hospices are frightening places that only exist to provide end-of-life care.

In fact, we support many families for a number of years. Dedicated help is given starting immediately after diagnosis, through bereavement and beyond.  Throughout this time, the focus is on enjoying every day and creating the very best memories for the future.

The aim of the tour is to let families explore our children’s hospice from the security of their own home, so they can discover that it’s really a friendly, homely place where they can benefit from a well-earned rest and enjoy some quality time together.
