Today is International Youth Day and today weโre shining a light on the amazing children and teens from our siblingsโ clubs, and our teen youth group.
At Helen & Douglas House, we love nothing more than embracing our inner child. From day trips on the Thames, games days, weekend camps, sleepovers and new unique experiences like beekeeping, we want to ensure the children and teens come away feeling happy, refreshed, confident and more resilient.
โI enjoy connecting with people like me. I enjoy the atmosphere and activities arranged by the amazing team, made even better by the supportive staffโ โ โStuโ, a regular to our Network Saturdayโs youth group
Weโd like to also thank the Youth and Transition team, the Siblings team and everyone who volunteers their time to help make a difference to the teens and siblings we care for. A day out and a space to connect with others makes the world of difference to these young peopleโs lives. It couldnโt be done without you all ๐งก
Birthdayโs, Banjo the pony and a baking bonanza!
Last month, our Stay and Play session was bustling with lots of fun activities and special guests! The theme for the day was baking so the children and the play team all got their hands dirty with food themed arts and crafts and baking 9 rounds of delicious cookies!
The children also had a visit from Banjo the pony and his handler Sharon from Ollie and Friends who surprised them all with lots of strokes and cuddles. It was also Siennaโs birthday, so Banjoโs visit made her day extra special!
Weโd like to say a special thanks to the team from Ollie and Friends Therapy and Party Ponies who make regular visits to the hospice. Your visits add a little bit of magic to the childrenโs day at the hospice โ it means so much ๐งก
Yesterday we opened the doors to our brand-new Helen & Douglas House charity shop in Marlborough! The day was nothing short of magical, with a lively buzz in the air, our wonderful community, and shelves stocked with fabulous treasures waiting to be discovered.
Our grand opening was made extra special as Jane, our CEO, and the lovely Sienna, a teenager who lives in Marlborough and comes to Helen & Douglas House for supportive stays, cut the ribbon to officially open the shop. Sienna was our very first customer, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for us. ๐งก
A massive shoutout to all of our incredible customers who joined us on this special day! Your support means the world to us. And we can't forget to give a huge round of applause to our extraordinary retail team - your hard work and dedication made this opening truly shine.
Weโre beyond thrilled to be in Marlborough, ready to raise vital funds to support local children with terminal and life-shortening conditions.

๐ Staff Spotlight ๐
Weโre excited to shine a spotlight on Chloe, one of our fantastic Play Leaders at Helen & Douglas House! Chloe has successfully completed her Makaton course with The Makaton Charity, qualifying her as a Makaton tutor. She can now teach other staff at the hospice Makaton Levels 1-4, enhancing communication with our children and young people.
Chloe will also be able to offer taster sessions to families in the future, teaching basic signs to use at home for better communication and continuity of care.
Makaton is a unique language program that uses symbols, signs, and speech to enable the children in our care to communicate. There are lots of wonderful benefits of teaching Makaton to children at Helen & Douglas House, including:
๐ค Giving children a voice
๐ค Reducing frustration
๐ค Opening up opportunities for making choices
๐ค Understanding childrenโs needs
๐ค Increasing childrenโs confidence when they are misunderstood
๐ค Enhancing and promoting speech development
For children who canโt sign back, Makaton still aids in their understanding. The more it is used, the more children will comprehend and pick up on it.
Join us in congratulating Chloe on this incredible achievement! She has worked so hard and everyone at Helen & Douglas House is super proud of her! ๐๐
Today is a huge day for Daryl and his eight friends as they all begin their 3 peaks challenge! Theyโll be climbing 3 of the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales and all in just 24 hours to raise vital funds for Helen & Douglas House.
Daryl and his friends are taking on this feat for Daryl's son Jago who is cared for at the hospice. Jago is just a year old and has an extremely rare genetic condition called CACNA1E which means there is no cure and his lifespan is uncertain. Despite this, Daryl believes with the right care, he can defy the odds and vows to never give up hope. He said โHelen & Douglas House is invaluable to us, and we feel so grateful to have such a brilliant network available to us. They have given us the chance to make the most of our time with Jago, helping to create memories as a family and ensure Jagoโs short life is the best he can possibly live.โ
We want to wish the best of luck to Daryl and his friends for their climb ๐งก

Weโd like to wish the best of luck to Adam Munt who is taking the plunge to raise money for Helen & Douglas House today!
As well as raising vital funds for the hospice, heโs jumping in memory of his fianceโs daughter, Lilly, who was cared for here at the hospice until she died in 2020. He said โshe was always such a happy and smiley little lady, even during the seizures and most difficult days Lilly always had a smile to make sure her mum knew she was ok. Helen & Douglas House means an awful lot to the family, and we will continue to support them as a family for many years to come.โ
So far, Adam has smashed his ยฃ700 target which is incredible. Read his story and donate here - https://www.justgiving.com/page/adam-munt-1718127430117
The siblings group was all abuzz earlier this month as they had a day trip with sibling workers Laura and Rosa at Westbury Arts Centre to have a go at beekeeping!
They all got kitted out in their best beekeeping suits complete with antenna and visited their hives, made their own beeswax candles and discovered how bees make the world a better place to bee.
Special thanks to the skilled beekeepers at Westbury Bee Group for making the day so special and memorable for the siblings. Days like these are so important for allowing the siblings to take their minds away from any worries at home and make friends with others with shared experiences.

DONโT MISS OUT LOVELY FURNITURE IN STOCK!!!!
At Helen & Douglas House, we understand the importance of providing a comfortable and peaceful environment for families to spend time with their child in the final days of their life.
To ensure that we can support more families at the end of their childโs life we have two newly designed spaces: the Flexible Family Space and the redesigned Little Room, a room where a child can stay and be cared for after they die.
These spaces have been thoughtfully created to offer comfort and accessibility to families as they navigate their difficult journeys. ๐งก
The creation of the Flexible Family Space and redesign of the Little Room were made possible by the generous contributions of various companies. Their donations of materials, labour, and expertise have been invaluable.

Here's to another fantastic year of charity shopping and teamwork!
In todayโs fast-paced work environment, encouraging team spirit and camaraderie is more important than ever. A great way to achieve this is through team charity challenges. Participating in these events not only brings employees together but also contributes to a greater cause. ๐งก
Our recent Snowdon Sunrise trek is a perfect example of the benefits of team charity challenges, and we hope to inspire other teams to join our upcoming Bubble Rush event in September.
Hear from Christina from our HR team, who recently completed the Snowdon Sunrise trek alongside her HR colleagues. In our recent blog post she shares her experience and tells us the benefits from taking part in a charity challenge as a team. ๐ช
