East Anglia's Children's Hospices

East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH) is a UK‑based charity that provides specialist palliative care for babies, children and young people with life‑limiting or life‑threatening conditions. Its core services include inpatient hospice care, community nursing support, short‑break respite, end‑of‑life care and bereavement support for families. The organisation also offers therapeutic activities such as music, art and play therapy, as well as practical assistance with equipment and welfare advice. EACH works closely with the National Health Service, local authorities and other voluntary sector partners to deliver coordinated, family‑centred care across the East Anglia region. Its approach emphasises holistic support that addresses the medical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of both the child and their wider family network. By focusing exclusively on paediatric palliative care, EACH fills a distinct niche in the UK healthcare landscape where adult hospice services are more prevalent.

The charity is headquartered in the United Kingdom and operates as an independent charitable organisation governed by a board of trustees. It relies primarily on voluntary donations, fundraising events and legacy gifts to fund its services, supplemented by statutory contracts where applicable. EACH maintains a volunteer programme that contributes to hospice operations, fundraising and family support activities. The organisation is committed to transparency and accountability, regularly reporting to the Charity Commission and adhering to UK charitable governance standards. In July 2020 EACH disclosed a data breach affecting donor information that originated from a cyberattack on its third‑party cloud service provider, Blackbaud, noting that no financial data was compromised and that the risk of misuse was assessed as minimal. This incident highlighted the organisation’s adherence to regulatory notification procedures and its commitment to informing potentially affected individuals promptly.
