LauraLynn children's hospice: 'It's not just about end-of-life support'

Ahead of Palliative Care Week, charity launches satellite service in Mallow to provide additional support for children with life-limiting conditions and their families living in the Cork and Kerry region

Marie Lynch: 'We are hoping to double the number of supports for children by 2024.'

LAURALYNN has launched a satellite service, based in Mallow, which will add an additional layer of support for children with life-limiting conditions and their families in the Cork and Kerry region. The new service will complement the existing supports in the region, offering easier access for families living in those counties.

“Travelling to LauraLynn’s campus in Dublin can be difficult for families living as far away as Cork and Kerry, especially when travelling with a very sick child, so it is important that these services can now come to them as well,” explains Marie Lynch, regional hub team lead, LauraLynn Children’s Hospice.
