Major boost for new children’s hospice hopes

Multi-million pound plans for a new children’s hospice in Norfolk have received a major boost after being granted planning permission.

East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) submitted proposals for the £10m project in March for a greenfield site at Framingham Earl to replace their hospice in Quidenham and are delighted that planning has been approved. The new Norfolk hospicewould meet the increasing demands for the charity’s services and provide even higher quality care.

EACH’s current Norfolk hospice in Quidenham has provided care and support for more than two decades and has been a home from home for many families. It is howeververy restricted in its facilities and the development of a new hospice will bring the county in line with the services EACH offer in Cambridgeshire, Essex and Suffolk.

EACH are set to launch a major fundraising appeal later this year and if you would like tofind outmorethen please contact Mark Loades – Norfolk Partnerships Manager for EACH on 01953 666771 or [email protected]or visit www.each.org.uk
