Pay a visit to Helen House
- 9 Jan 07, 3:30 PM
Starting tonight (Tuesday) on 主播大秀 TWO is a new eight-part series following staff, families and carers at Helen House in Oxford, which was the world's first centre to provide respite and end-of-life care for children with life-shortening conditions. The adjoining Douglas House leads the way in similar care for young adults. One of the stated aims of this community is to show that a short life does not have to be a "tragic" one.
Children of Helen House runs for the next eight weeks on Tuesday evenings at 10.00pm. Find out more on the programme's accompanying website.

AT LAST ! ! ! Can't wait for the episode involving Douglas House as the first and only "Young Adults" Hospice.
We, The J's Hospice, are raising money to build and run the second in this country. It's so hard to get people to realise the NEED for age appropriate Care and Respite centres , usually called "A Hospice".
I have just finished watching the 主播大秀 Helen House. A moving, touching programme that reminds us how children handle sickness and disease so much better than adults. Thank you 主播大秀 Manchester and all those involved in making this progamme and those that follow.
May the powers that be bless those parents, and the ones running this unique, magical place,
