Sophie’s Legacy supports families locally who end up in hospital with their child. Our funds help support and implement the changes Sophie asked for before she passed, such as a play specialist seven days a week in hospitals, improvements to food for children in hospital and catering for parents when staying with their children.

Thames Valley*
Daisy’s Dream based in Berkshire, supports children and young people who are facing, or have experienced, the death of someone close. Research has shown that without the right support, children who experience a significant loss or life-limiting illness of a parent or sibling are more likely to experience future mental health, social or educational difficulties. The charity’s service offers the time and support needed by families to learn to cope with the changing dynamics of their life, and ultimately move forwards in a positive way.
