This week, we had a truly unique and special day at LauraLynn. ✨ We were honoured to welcome our wonderful ambassador, , who visited LauraLynn to spend time with the families currently staying with us in both LauraLynn House and Hazel House. 💗

Nicola created an atmosphere filled with warmth and joy as she met with families and read the story that her brilliant new film, The Magic Faraway Tree, is based on. To make it extra special and inclusive, our team transformed the story into a sensory experience for all.

Nicola then treated everyone to an exclusive screening of her beautiful new film making the experience even more magical. The day filled with delicious food provided by along with popcorn and many more treats.

It was so important to us that this wasn’t just an event, but an intimate, heartfelt experience tailored to the children and families we support. Seeing the smiles, the wonder, and the moments of pure joy reminded us exactly why these days matter so much.

We are incredibly proud to call Nicola our ambassador. Her kindness and genuine care had a lasting impact on our families, creating memories that will be treasured for a lifetime. ✨💗

A huge thank‑you to our amazing staff, who transformed the space with fairy lights, sensory details, and an amazing movie backdrop to create an extra magical environment.

When a child like Henry comes to LauraLynn for a short stay, it is the kindness of people like you that helps to provide him and his family with the endless love and expert care they need.

As Henry’s dad Robbie says, “You are not just making a donation... you are changing someone's life for the better.”

Please help us continue to care for wonderful children like Henry and their families by making a special gift to LauraLynn today. Thank you so much.

Appreciation post for our magical fish tank, where all of our special sea friends live. Our fish tank might seem small, but to the children, families, and staff who pass by it every day, it’s a tiny world of magic.✨🌊

Our Story

LauraLynn, Ireland’s Children’s Hospice was formed in 2011 following the merging of the long standing Children’s Sunshine Home and the LauraLynn Foundation, formed by Jane and Brendan McKenna in memory of their precious daughters, Laura and Lynn, who tragically both passed away within less than 2 years of each other. LauraLynn now comprises LauraLynn Hospice Service and Hazel House and Willow View Disability Services.

The LauraLynn Hospice Service provides palliative care and support for children with life-limiting conditions and their families from across Ireland. Our holistic approach to care ensures that we are supporting the whole family, allowing parents to have time to be ‘Mums and Dads’ rather than full-time carers.

We offer support for children from birth to their 18th birthday

All of our care is free for families

Children can be referred to LauraLynn from anywhere in Ireland

LauraLynn@HOME programme, provides hospice care for children in the comfort of their own home in Dublin North-East and Dublin Mid-Leinster Regions.

Our children’s palliative care is delivered through our Interdisciplinary Team. We work in partnership with the child’s primary care team with a shared goal of ensuring high quality Family Support, Symptom Management, End-of-Life Care, Bereavement Support and Direct Care.

Additionally, our Hazel House Disability Service provides, residential, crisis and respite care to children and adolescents with profound learning difficulties accompanied by physical disabilities, complex healthcare needs and sensory impairments.

While our Willow View Disability Service provides residential care for adults with intellectual and physical disabilities. In line with national policy, we no longer accept referrals for our Willow View service but are committed to taking care of our adult residents, who have been in our care since childhood.

In striving for excellence in the provision of children’s palliative care, LauraLynn has a Clinical Education & Training Department, whose remit is to provide a range of educational programmes and initiatives for healthcare professionals and others interested in improving quality of care.
