Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity provides specialist nurses and life-changing support for seriously ill children.

Across the UK, over 200 Roald Dahl Nurses care for more than 40,000 children living with complex, lifelong conditions.

For many families, the road to diagnosis is complex and uncertain, juggling hospital visits, managing medications, and navigating treatments and tests. They are often under the care of multiple specialists, across different hospitals.

Roald Dahl Nurses join families on this journey. They provide coordination of care, emotional support, and a trusted, familiar presence both in hospital and at home. They help families feel less overwhelmed and isolated and more in control.

Our vision is that every seriously ill child deserves a Roald Dahl Nurse and fundraising is core to achieving this.
