Since 1995, Children's Hospice South West has been providing expert respite and emergency care for life-limited children at its hospices in Devon (Little Bridge House) and more recently Somerset (Charlton Farm).

Plans are now in place to extend this world-class service and bring it closer to families in Plymouth and Cornwall by building a third hospice in Cornwall. The new hospice will offer a range of services, from 24 hour palliative care for the sick child and care for parents and siblings, to end of life care, and support for the family in bereavement and beyond.

The CHSW shop in Truro sells a range of high quality items including clothes, multimedia, home textiles, toys, books and bric-a-brac. Assisted by volunteers, it is also a place where supporters can learn more about the charity and the appeal to build a new hospice.

Donations are welcome at the shop during opening hours.
