ACT is the only organisation working across the UK to achieve a better quality of life and care for every life-limited child and their family. Over the last 15 years we have lobbied for change, produced targeted research, published best practice and provided practical support to our members to improve services.

Our membership includes parents, hospital and community teams, PCT’s, voluntary organisations, children’s hospices, healthcare professionals and other professionals caring for life-limited children.  This makes us the only organisation that supports and represents all those involved in caring for life-limited children and gives us a strong collective voice in our negotiations for improvements in palliative care for children and young people.
