Services

TLC for kids, over the years, has developed a range of important services with tangible benefits to children, families, healthcare workers and the hospital system as a whole. Our services have evolved out of very close and long term communication with hospital staff, to determine where the gaps are, and what is really needed in hospitals. The result is a handful of practical, grassroots support services that aren't being met by any other entity or organisation. The way we see it, there are plenty of charities in the children's health sector, and they all serve a very worthy purpose. Our driving force is to reach those kids who, by sheer misfortune, don't meet the criteria of the existing services, and you would be surprised at just how many kids don't (accident & burns victims, less common illnesses and diseases etc). For those with much more common illnesses, there is a fantastic supply of support available.

Please take a look at the various services we provide, and you'll quickly become familiar with the essence of our support. We exist only to bring calm, distraction and happiness to situations that are otherwise quite frightening for kids, and unnerving for parents.
