About Us

Over 30 years of helping families...

Since our founding in 1992 by Corinne Gardener, Tree of Hope has been a beacon of support for children and young people in need of healthcare funding that isn't readily available through public services. Originally established to serve families in Bexhill, East Sussex, we have grown into a national charity, helping children and young people across the UK and Ireland access essential healthcare.

Our Vision

A world where every child and young person has equal access to the best possible healthcare and support, enabling them to lead fulfilling lives and reach their full potential.

‘Bridging The Gap’

As we continue to grow and evolve, our foundational goal remains the same—to help as many children and young people as possible get the healthcare they deserve.

With the unwavering support of our donors, partners, and community, Tree of Hope is proud to stand beside families with a clear mission: to ensure that no child's health is compromised due to a lack of resources or support.

Tree of Hope’s Bridging the Gap strategy focuses on closing the gaps in healthcare access for children across the UK. By supporting families and strengthening community ties, we aim to make sure that every child and young person, no matter their circumstances, has the opportunity to receive the healthcare they need to lead fulfilling lives and reach their full potential.
