“Having children myself, I couldn’t imagine how I’d feel if I found that they were very sick, however I know I’d take great comfort from a place like Grace House North East.
“The support and advice that they can offer can help to make a child both comfortable and content in a home from home environment. This will help families to make the most of their time together.
