And the Foundation has now made its first donation of £30,000. This will rise to £50,000 this year to be used to support the essential work of the the 49 specialist children’s hospices throughout the UK.

The PHS Foundation supports a number of national and local initiatives to encourage and support its employees to make an impact in their community. The Foundation prioritises three areas - Health, Environment and Enterprise.

Together for Short Lives supports those who help, love and care for children and young people who are unlikely to reach adulthood. Nick Appleby, Corporate Fundraiser at the organisatio said: “This is a wonderful donation! Our partnership with PHS makes an enormous difference to thousands of children with life-threatening or life-limiting conditions and their families and I would like to say a huge thank you on their behalf.”
