At the heart of it:
Julia’s House.
We use our voices to support the children and families who rely on Julia’s House Children’s Hospice.
Practical support.
Precious moments.
Julia’s House provides practical and emotional support for families caring for a child with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition. Its care reaches families in their homes, in the community and at its hospices.
Our performances and fundraising help support that work, bringing people together around a cause that matters deeply to us.
Every contribution counts.

£819.88

Total recorded as at 5 October 2026.
Every donation helps us support Julia’s House and the children and families in its care.
Seeing the difference.
When several of us visited Julia’s House, we saw the special facilities that donations help to fund and the care offered to families at their most vulnerable.
Our appeal highlighted how heavily the hospice relies on its community: around 8% of its funding came from government, leaving more than 90% to be found through other support.
For us, the visit made the purpose of our charity single and our fundraising feel even more personal.
“Julia’s House is a beacon of hope for children with life-limiting conditions and their families. The compassionate care and support they provide not only creates a safe and nurturing environment but also helps families build precious memories during difficult times. Our charity single is a testament to their incredible work, and we are committed to raising funds to ensure they can continue to make a meaningful impact in the lives of children.”

A gift to Cadence.
At our Christmas fundraiser in 2025, Julia’s House CEO Martin Edwards gave us something we will always treasure: an acrostic poem, using the letters of CADENCE to reflect the charity’s work and the children at its heart.
