James Hopkins Trust
What we offer
Every young child living in Gloucestershire who is severely disabled, life-limited or life-threatened will have access to specialist respite care and support to help enrich their lives and the lives of their families.
James Hopkins Trust believe that every child deserves to experience joy, laughter and love, regardless of their complex medical needs, diagnosis or condition. For over 30 years, we have been dedicated to providing unwavering support to children in Gloucestershire who are life-limited or life-threatened, empowering them to live life to the fullest.
Our mission is simple: to provide family-centred care and support adapted to the children’s individual needs, either at Kites Corner or in the home.
Caring for a disabled child is a labour of love, but it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. Parents often struggle juggling the additional responsibilities that their child’s condition or disability brings to family life. We’re here to offer families the support they require, providing a safe and caring space for their child while they take a well-deserved break. It’s a chance for parents to unwind, be themselves and enjoy their role as caregivers. Siblings, who might be feeling isolated or overwhelmed, get an opportunity to play together, share special moments and have some fun too.
