Our Service

The Jessie May Trust offers support at home for all stages of a child or young person ’s illness from diagnosis, to terminal care, into death and bereavement.

Our nurses and care workers offer a service which is available for fifty two weeks a year and is tailor-made to match the precise needs and circumstances of each family.

We give practical and emotional support by befriending, listening and advising."Palliative care for children and young people with life limiting conditions is an active and total approach to care, embracing physical, emotional, social and spiritual elements."
