Work is now complete on a new, sustainable building specifically designed with bereaved children in mind. The new Young People’s Cabin, located in the Hospice’s gardens, has opened this summer providing a dedicated space for the hundreds of youngsters supported by St Gemma’s bereavement team each year.
From this page you can access all of the information about this exciting project as well as stories about what it means to the young people we support and our bereavement team.

The finishing touches are being made and our Young People’s Service team and the children we support are excited to visit the new building at an activity day next month.

Our new building is finished! It looks fantastic and our Young People’s Service team have started using it for activity days. As the children have been heavily involved in the design process for the building, they’ve also had the chance to come up with a name, which is The Cabin!
