Together for Short Lives

We are delighted to inform you that the newly merged ACT & Children's Hospices UK will be known from today as Together for Short Lives.

News from Barbara Gelb, Chief Executive and Lizzie Chambers, Deputy Chief Executive:

As you know, the merger of ACT and Children's Hospices UK has established for the first time a united voice for all those involved with children's palliative care - children, young people and their families, professionals and providers from the voluntary and statutory sectors. In the first month of the new charity, we have already used this powerful voice to important effect with a range of audiences right across the UK.

In re-branding the new organisation, we have sought to find a name that is memorable and distinctive and captures the essence of what we do.  Together for Short Lives encapsulates what the new charity is all about - working to support children and families to make the most of life, recognising that we can only do this by working together - with children, young people and their families, and all our members and partners, with policy makers, governments, funders, supporters and the general public.
