If anyone is interested ,the first children’s Hospice was Helen House, in Oxford. Helen lived in Abingdon. Her father was a scientist at the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority. She was a beautiful child blonde child . Sadly as a toddler, she had a brain tumour. After it was removed she was paralysed. Her parents friend a C of E Nun, sister Frances Dominica, used to help with her care and they suggested a Hospice for children. Lots of raising funds for the project it was opened in the grounds of the Nunnery in Oxford in 1982. Sadly Helen died aged 26., she has two younger sisters. At the time fund raising started it was only at Harwell. I always will remember her father’s name. Dr Keith Worswick, because of the Newcastle bus ststion.
