Supporting South Coast families every step of the way

Welcome to Abby’s Heroes!

Our aim is to help and support children and their families

Abby's Heroes supports children, teenagers, young adults and their families, including bereaved families, who come under the care of the the Piam Brown Ward and the Teenagers and Young Adults (TYA) wards at UHS - Southampton General Hospital.

Taking care of families from across the South Coast of England, we offer Welfare Packs, Care and Comfort bags, Financial Grants, operate a family room with emergency provisions, Counselling sessions and Play Therapy for the patient and their family. We have an active days out programme for the whole family and special days for the Grandparents and siblings.
