About Lifelites

Lifelites passionately believes that all children with life-limiting conditions and complex disabilities should enjoy a childhood filled with special moments of fun, happiness, and meaningful connections.

By harnessing innovative sensory and assistive technology, we empower children to play, learn, communicate, interact with the world, and create lasting memories with their families.

For nearly 25 years, we have provided cutting-edge technology, training, and ongoing technical support free of charge to children’s hospices in Britain and Ireland, impacting over 12,500 children and their families annually.

Despite advances in clinical care, many children we support are unlikely to recover and may live short, complicated lives. However, our mission is simple and crucial: to help these children live as well as possible, for as long as possible, even into their last days.

Our key aims are to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for the children and families we support by increasing independence, reducing isolation, and improving communication, emotional wellbeing, and family relationships.
