Andy’s Amigos is a place to have fun, make friends and create memories through a range of creative and stimulating therapeutic activities.

Delivered through a range of small therapeutic and creative groups relevant to you and your child’s needs, Andy’s Amigos sessions take place either at the hospice or within a local community setting.

When a child is nearing the end of their life, every moment counts. At Andy’s, we make sure you don’t have to face those moments alone.

Our dedicated, specialist care team will ensure your child is as peaceful and comfortable as possible right to the end, and support you to make the most of the precious time you have together.

The time immediately following the loss of a child can be an overwhelming battle of emotional and practical demands. Our Butterfly Suite offers newly bereaved parents and families the opportunity to spend much-needed time saying goodbye in a peaceful setting, away from the interruptions of everyday life.

As an alternative to the provision offered by a funeral director, children can rest in the Butterfly Suite for up to seven days. Staff will be on hand to guide and support you throughout this time.
