lives, we give
families �me and
space to be
together and when
a child dies, we are
there to support
the whole family.
One of our mums
talks about the
support that her
family get from Helen & Douglas House, ‘When my child fell
extremely ill in September 2023 the 昀椀rst call I made was to Helen &
Douglas House. They were there from day one. explaining things
when I couldn't understand, for a hug when we were low, for pain
management a�er his long stay in intensive care and reassurance
when we had to make hard decisions. From food packages to a
shoulder to cry on, they were there every step of the way. I couldn't
have done it without them.’
90% of our funding comes from voluntary dona�ons and this year
we need to raise almost £6m to fund the cost of the care
for the families we support.
We are incredibly grateful
to the Rotary Clubs of
Marlow and to all of you
for taking part. If you
choose to run for Helen &
Douglas House, we will
provide all he support you
need before the event and
be there to cheer you
across the 昀椀nish line!
