WellChild - Helping sick children and their families across the UK

Helping Hands

WellChild's Helping Hands is a unique scheme offering practical

support to sick children and their families through one off home improvement projects, such as a garden or bedroom makeover.

When you're caring for a sick child, re-decorating a room or adapting a garden can seem like climbing a mountain - there just aren't enough hours in the day.

With the generous help of volunteer teams from company’s situated local to our families, we are able to make a dramatic and lasting impact to the daily lives of sick children around the UK.
