Julia's House is a children's hospice located in Corfe Mullen, Dorset, England and Devizes, Wiltshire. It is a hospice for children with life-limiting, life-threatening or terminal conditions.[2][3] The majority of the children who are cared for by Julia's House are unlikely to live beyond the age of 18.[1] The hospice costs £1.9 million to be maintained. Only 3% of this cost is provided by the government.[4]
