A hospice service for children and young people has been shortlisted for four national awards.

Naomi House & Jacksplace, which supports families in Hampshire and surrounding areas, has been recognised across multiple categories for its work in healthcare, volunteering and fundraising.

Mark Smith, chief executive, said: "These nominations reflect the heart of our hospices—the dedication, compassion, and innovative spirit of our staff, volunteers, and supporters.

"From ground breaking collaborations like the DMD Clinic, to inspiring fundraisers and sustainable community initiatives such as the Recycle Bike Hub, each recognition is a celebration of people working together to make extraordinary care possible.

"I'm deeply proud of everyone involved, and humbled by the care, resilience, and humanity they bring to children, young people, and families every day."

The hospices' Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) Clinic has been shortlisted for Charity Collaboration of the Year at the Charity Times Awards and Partnership of the Year at the Charity Today Awards.

The Recycle Bike Hub volunteers have been shortlisted in the Volunteer Team of the Year category at the Third Sector Awards.

Play and creative arts therapist, Jenny Astall, has been named as a finalist for the Wellbeing Award at The National Children and Young People Awards.

Brian, from GRP Solutions, has been shortlisted in the UK Fundraiser of the Year at the Charity Today Awards.
