The Enriqueta Villavecchia Foundation powered the Children Palliative Care Network in Catalonia. 

And now, we want to create the first children hospice, a pioneering centre to provide comprehensive support to children and young people with incurable illnesses.

How are we going to do this? By rehabilitating a unique building that will offer services for family respite, activities, complementary therapies, end-of-life care, and bereavement support.

“A children's hospice is a precious place where families can be together with their children in those last moments, creating precious memories that will last them a lifetime.”

Dra. Carolina Pérez
Palliative care specialist at the Evelina London Children's Hospital

“Hospices bring light in the darkness, and they are a place where families can access various resources: music therapy, hydrotherapy and respite care.”

Jana Krákorová
Vlček Family Foundation, Czech Republic

“It is going to offer comprehensive services for families with seriously ill children. These families really need these services, it is very important to them.”

Children’s hospices are a common resource in Europe. In the United Kingdom alone, there are more than 50. Across Europe, there are 133.

Victoria Pavilion is a center for taking care of life with respect and dignity. A new resource for children affected by any incurable illness, who are receiving medical care at hospital.

The center will offer continuous support to families: during life, at the time of death, in grief, and in remembrance. It’s not a hospital but a home, to give families this support.

This centre will also care for the professionals and will be open to the community to promote a more compassionate society.
