X Factor's Simon Cowell, patron of Together for Short Lives, has announced his support for Children's Hospice Week.

Cowell, who visited Haven House Children's Hospice recently, said 'It's always great to see so many smiles which is a credit to the wonderful staff and I applaud them for all the amazing work that they do'. Children's Hospice Week, June 13-20, is the UK's only awareness raising and fundraising week for children with life-limiting conditions and the services, like children's hospices, that support them.
