Due to the large catchment area of the Children’s Oncology Unit, families often have to make round trips of over 200 miles to receive treatment.

Family Accommodation

In 2024 we provided over 1800 nights of accommodation for families

We offer eight bedrooms—six of which are en-suite—each equipped with desks and televisions, providing families with a comfortable space to rest and recharge. The accommodation also features shared kitchen facilities, a laundry room, and a cosy lounge, allowing families to feel at home during their child’s hospital stay.

The accommodation is offered free of charge, helping to keep families together and reduce the stress of being far from home.

In 2024, LATCH fundraised for a refurbishment of the bedrooms, ensuring they provide families with a comfortable and welcoming environment during their stay. Our next goal is to extend these improvements to the communal areas throughout 2025, creating an even more relaxing and supportive space for families.
