The Sick Children's Trust is a national charity in the United Kingdom, founded in 1982, providing 'Home from Home' accommodation at hospitals around the United Kingdom. The Sick Children's Trust believes keeping families together significantly improves the recovery of seriously ill children. The charity provides free, high-quality 'Home from Home' accommodation, as well as emotional and practical support to families with seriously ill children in hospital. The charity currently has ten houses, in London, Leeds, Cambridge, Sheffield and Newcastle upon Tyne, which support over 4,000 families every year. The Sick Children’s Trust was founded in 1982 by two paediatric specialists, Dr Jon Pritchard and Professor James Malpas, who believed that having parents on hand during hospital treatment benefited a child's recovery. It is the longest-serving charity providing ‘Home from Home’ accommodation in the UK. On аvеrаgе, 2 million сhіldrеn in the UK rеԛuіrе hоѕріtаl trеаtmеnt each уеаr.
