The roles, which will help reach more children with life-limiting conditions, have been created thanks to a grant from the St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation.

Wrexham-based financial planners Hadlow Edwards Wealth Management Ltd introduced the Hope House and Tŷ Gobaith children’s hospices to the foundation leading to the successful application for more than £79,000 towards the costs of employing two Community Engagement roles for two years.

Hope House, which has two hospices in Oswestry and the Conwy Valley wanted to launch the scheme 10 years ago, following a successful pilot, but didn't have the money.
