About Us

A.W.C.H. is a small charity, covering the whole of Wales and based in Swansea. We are purely volunteer run and have no offices. AWCH was founded in 1962 by a group of parents and professionals concerned with lack of parental access to children in hospital. As a result of our work and that of Action for Sick Children, hospitals have open visiting, and children's wards are generally bright and cheerful.

With our sister organisations in England and Scotland, we are members of the European Association for Children in Hospital, monitoring health standards for children throughout Europe.

Today AWCH continues it's work to promote the welfare of sick children in hospital, community and home by:

  • liaising with health care professionals and the Welsh Assembly
  • acting in a consultative capacity in the forward planning of health services for children in Wales
  • promoting play and teaching in hospital
  • donating hospital gifts
  • speaking at meetings of voluntary and other groups

For more information, you can view our new leaflet in English or Welsh, in addition to the Autumn 2008 Newsletter (all in PDF format). If you don't have Acrobat reader, click here.
