Helen House Hospice
Helen House hospice was founded in 1982, inspired by two year old Helen Worswick. Sister Frances met Helen after a operation to remove a brain tumour left Helen severely disabled. The friendship which Frances developed with Helen and her parents proved the inspiration for the UK's first children's hospice. More information on the work of Helen House today can be found at the Helen House website. A full account of the history of Helen House can be found in 'A House Called Helen', written by Helen's mother, Jacqueline Worswick.
