GARSONS ESHER CHARITY OF THE YEAR 2024:
MOMENTUM CHILDREN'S CHARITY
We are honoured to be championing Momentum Children's Charity, which supports children who are seriously ill and their families, "from hospital to home, they make sure no family has to cope alone".
They partner with local hospitals across Surrey, Sussex and London to offer personally tailored support through our family support workers, both in hospital and at home. Services include counselling, creative therapies, special experiences, and respite breaks. If the unthinkable happens, and a child dies, they offer specialist bereavement support.
When a child is very unwell, the impact often goes far beyond the effect on their own physical health - it can devastate families, disrupt children’s education, limit social activities and change their whole way of life. On top of this, there is added pressure on household finances at a time when there is already a cost-of-living crisis.
Families that Momentum support let them know that dealing with these many challenges has a severe impact on their own, and their children’s, emotional and mental wellbeing. Momentum Children’s Charity provides support to address these issues, and ensure no family has to cope alone.

“We are thrilled to be chosen as the Garsons Esher Charity of the Year and are really looking forward to the year ahead. This partnership will see us working with Garsons to organise a calendar of exciting events to raise money for Momentum, so keep your eyes peeled for more details coming soon! We are aligned with five hospitals across Surrey, including Kingston Hospital and St. Peter’s in Chertsey, and money raised from this partnership will help us be there for families with children who are very unwell.”
