The Sternenbrücke children's hospice foundation has been officially registered since 7 September 2001. The work of the children’s hospice is made possible and funded directly thanks to donations to the foundation. The Sternenbrücke children's hospice foundation is a recognised charitable and benevolent institution and can issue donation receipts; it is a member of the charitable organisation Diaconal Work, Hamburg Federal Association, of the German hospice and palliative association and of the German Association for Palliative Medicine.
The main purpose of the foundation is the running of a children’s hospice (palliative nursing establishment) that accommodates and cares for children, adolescents and young adults (up to the age of 27). These young people are in special need of care because of the seriousness of their illness and have no hope of being cured. Some of the young people have a low life expectancy. The aim of the foundation is also to provide accommodation and counselling for their families.
