The Duchess of Cambridge has praised children's hospices for bringing 'joy, fun and play' to seriously ill children.
Kate, in a message to mark Children's Hospice Week, said that, as well as providing vital expert care, the UK's 54 children's hospices help families 'make the most of their lives together, no matter how short'.
The duchess, who has been royal patron of East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH) for 10 years, thanked the hospices for their 'incredible work' and for guiding people through the 'toughest of times'.
Children's Hospice Week, from June 20-26, is organised by Together for Short Lives, the UK charity for seriously ill children and families, and is the only week dedicated to raising funds and awareness for the services across the country.
