What we do: Hope House Children’s Hospices – Hope House in Oswestry and Ty Gobaith in Conwy – provide specialist nursing care in addition to practical and emotional support to terminally ill and life limited children and young people. We also believe our dedicated care and support should extend to the whole family from diagnosis, throughout the lifetime of the child and beyond.


Our comprehensive professional bereavement and counselling service is offered to families who use the hospices and also throughout Shropshire, Cheshire and North and Mid Wales, to those who have lost a child in whatever circumstances. We also offer support to all children and young people who have lost someone close to them in traumatic circumstances.


away. A child in nappies for two-and-a-half years will probably use approximately 6,000 disposable nappies compared to a baby in cloth nappies who will re-use 24-50 nappies.


Talking nappies! E


Reusable nappies do not contain any potentially harmful super-absorbent gels, deodorants or chemicals. They are made from the same fabrics as everyday clothes and give parents control over what they put next to their baby’s sensitive and absorbent skin. Reusable nappies are soft and comfortable, and stay-dry nappies help to keep babies’ skin dry, which helps to prevent nappy rash.


Many of today’s parents remember Terry squares, pins, plastic pants and boiling! They are put off by the thought of washing dirty nappies and lots of extra laundry. Today’s nappies really are easy to care for...


Hope House Children’s Hospices are a lifeline for terminally ill children, their brothers, sisters and families, helping them find the best way down the hardest of paths. To do this we need YOU!

very day in the UK around 8,000,000 disposable nappies are used and thrown


Take soiled nappy off, shake solids into the loo, put the nappy in dry bucket with lid (lined with nappy mesh bag). On wash day put whole mesh bag into machine and put on rinse cycle, then wash at 60/40ºC with 1/2 of the usual amount of detergent - tumble or hang dry. Using reusable nappies will mean an extra load of washing every two-three days, truly unnoticeable compared to the other washing babies and young children produce! Reusable nappies come in many fab designs and colours to make changing time fun!
