At Bluebell Wood, we support young people aged 14 up to the age of 25, helping you and them through the transition from children’s to adult services.

Children who come to Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice can attend our Youth Group from the age of 14, so they can be around people of a similar age and enjoy lots of new and exciting activities together.

When your child reaches 18, they will begin the move from children’s to adult services. This means changing consultants and a nursing team that they might not be familiar with and sometimes leaving school or looking for their own accommodation. We know that this can be a lot to deal with.

Our Transition team

Our friendly Transition team are on hand to help with any concerns you might have. They can offer you and your child advice and support.

They’re also here to be a friendly face, so your child always has someone to talk to. Whether they fancy a pizza night-in, shaking up some mocktails in a masterclass, or even if they just want some quality time on the Xbox, we’re here to support you and your child however we can.

The team also run a regular youth group with a variety of activities and the opportunity to meet other young people going through similar experiences.

Your child can also get support for services including education, housing, and health and social care organisations. We’re here to help them to become as independent as possible.
