Keech Cottage Children’s Hospice is run by The Pasque Charity and supports over 150 families from across Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire who are facing the loss of their child. The children cared for by Keech Cottage have been diagnosed with a life-limiting condition and most are expected to die in childhood. Many have progressive, degenerative conditions and their health deteriorates slowly over many years.

Staff at Keech Cottage offer help, support and friendship to the whole family, throughout the child’s illness and after their death, for as long as it is needed.

Care is available either in the charity’s bright and comfortable hospice near Luton, or if requested in the family home. All our services are available regardless of race, religion or culture and are provided free of charge, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The aim at Keech Cottage is to enable families to make the most of the precious time they have left with their child. There is ample provision at Keech Cottage for play and recreation, as well as specialist facilities for therapies and learning. All of these help to ensure Keech Cottage is a place for living.

To run Keech Cottage this year will cost almost £2m. As a charity, Keech Cottage relies on the generosity and goodwill of the local community to raise over 80% of its annual running costs.
