Naomi House

The 2009 nominated charity was Naomi House (registered charity number 1002832).

Naomi House children's hospice opened in June 1997 to provide respite care, terminal care and bereavement support for children and families from across the south of England.

They provide care and support through good days, difficult days and last days to children, young people and their families from the counties of Berkshire, Dorset, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Surrey, West Sussex and Wiltshire.

It costs around £4.5 million a year to provide their services, and with just 7% of funding coming from government, they are dependent upon voluntary and charitable support.

Naomi House received royal approval when HRH the Prince of Wales performed the official opening ceremony on 22 April 1998.

Since welcoming the first families to stay on 27 June 1997, they have cared for around 450 children with life-limiting conditions as well as their parents, brothers and sisters
