OXFORD: The world’s first children’s hospice is marking its 30th birthday today.
Helen House opened in Leopold Street, East Oxford on November 15, 1982, and was followed by Douglas House, the first hospice geared at young adults, in 2004.
The charity is holding a small tea party for families of children staying at the hospice today.
