About us
Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice Service is a local charity that provides specialist care and vital support to babies, children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions, and their families, across Berkshire and into surrounding counties. We currently support over 200 children and their families, but we are committed to growing our service and reaching out to every child and their family that needs us. Our approach is child and family-centred in order to provide the best possible care and support they need, as well as helping them create memories, for however long they have together. Our care services include Respite care, Specialist play, Symptom management, Family support, End of life care and Bereavement support. We provide care from our children’s hospice in Maidenhead as well as in the family home and the community, including hospitals and schools. The cost of running our vital service each year is over £3.05million and, with minimal government funding, we are almost entirely reliant on donations, fundraising and gifts in Wills. The charity was founded by John and Fiona Devine in memory of their son Alexander who sadly passed away from a rare brain tumour in 2006. Their personal experience led them to realise a desperate need for a local children’s hospice service with a hospice facility in Berkshire.

Helping your organisation create a positive impact on the lives of seriously-ill children and their families across Berkshire, with your local children's hospice.
🏒Final event of the year complete! 🧸 It’s been a very busy festive season at Alexander Devine Children's Hospice Service and it’s been so incredible to see so many companies and organisations taking part in events in aid of our charity. From bake sales and Christmas jumper days, to all staff Christmas parties I’ve had a blast supporting you all! And it finishes with one of my favourites events of the year, Air the Bear with the TSI World Berkshire Bees Ice Hockey team! Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and I look forward to more amazing activities with you all in 2025! #MerryChristmas #NewYear

A huge thanks to all the team and the suppliers who took part in our Christmas fundraising for our charity Alexander Devine Children's Hospice Service With good old fashioned, jumpers, supplier quizzes, tombola, raffles and company favourite ‘speedy bingo’. We are still checking but it looks like around £4,000 for such a great cause. Thanks to everyone again and our suppliers who gave up time and prizes to help.
