St Mary’s has been in operation since 1902 and provides a safe, secure and therapeutic environment for children from families in crisis. At present, the home looks after just over 60 children of various ages. Just like hospice, they rely greatly on the generosity of the community, sponsors and donors to keep their doors open.
