Roald Dahl believed in the importance of children and in helping them overcome life's toughest challenges. He was one of the world’s most imaginative and loved storytellers and he left an enduring legacy. Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity helps and empowers every seriously ill child to lead a marvellous life. One way we do this is through establishing specialist Roald Dahl Nurses in hospitals and communities across the UK.
To mark International Nurses Day, we have launched a Nurses Appeal to ensure our network of 78 Roald Dahl Specialist Nurses can continue to do their vital work. The appeal is supported by our patrons, Julie Walters and Claudia Winkleman. Every seriously ill child deserves a Roald Dahl Nurse. Please make it happen and donate today.
“Knowing our Roald Dahl Specialist Nurse, Clare is there and is our person of contact is like having someone as a security blanket."
"If we didn't have our Roald Dahl Nurse, it would be so much harder."
