Merry Christmas from everyone at the Pepper Foundation!
Thank you for supporting Pepper in 2025!
2025 has been an incredible year for the Pepper Foundation. With the launch of the Pepper Play Service and the development of our partnerships, it has possibly been the most prolific year in our history.
With a busy 2026 ahead of us, we’ll be in need of volunteers for a variety of events and activities. If you’re interested in volunteering with the Pepper Foundation, please get in contact!
Wear your Christmas jumper for Pepper!
As we head into the last week of November, it’s becoming harder to ignore that Christmas is just around the corner!
At The Pepper Foundation, we love Christmas. More specifically, we love a Christmas jumper! Maybe you do too? If so, why not get involved with our “Wear your Christmas jumper for children’s hospice at home” fundraiser! It’s simple to get involved and requires very little effort to support!

The Pepper Foundation
In the UK, there are over 89,000 babies, children and young people living with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition. The number of referrals is rising every year; this means that there is a growing need for children’s hospice services around the country.
The Pepper Foundation specifically funds children’s hospice at home services; these services are an essential part of the support received by families and children living with these conditions.
We believe that children and families living with complex health needs should be able to enjoy the best quality of life possible, however short that life may be.
Our fundraising superstars!
We rely on the generosity of our local community to enable us to continue to raise funds to support the Children’s Hospice at Home Team. To find out more about how you can become a Fundraising Superstar please contact our fundraising team on 01442 507324 – they would love to hear from you!
