Work has started on the £10m EACH nook hospice in Framingham Earl, which will replace Quidenham. Sophie Wyllie looked at the range of appeal fundraisers.
It has captured the imagination of hundreds of people across Norfolk and Suffolk.
And thanks to a variety of fundraisers, the ambitious £10m nook appeal has reached £7m.
Below is a sample of some of the good work which has taken place across our region for the worthy cause.
?Former prime minister Sir John Major attended a dinner in June 2017 to raise awareness and funds for the charity. During his speech he spoke about how he found the bravery of children and families supported by EACH humbling to witness.
?Friends Diane Wheeler, an electrical engineer at Parker Hannifin in Thetford, and Nicola Smith, from Yorkshire, walked 96 miles along the Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path from Thetford to Cromer dressed as a crab and lobster in May 2015. They hoped to raise £15,000.
?A trio of friends from Caister with a knack for craft - Pat Bacon, Tish Edmonds and Carol Rowe - have been selling their decorations and ornate creations this year in aid of the appeal.
?Teams of pancake flippers raced around the Forum in Norwich on February 2017 for the appeal. The Flip It for EACH event saw twelve corporate teams compete for prizes while tossing pancakes made by trainee chefs from City College Norwich.
?Beth van Melsen, 21, from Norwich, whose sister Lydia was cared for at EACH for several years, ran the 2017 London Marathon for the appeal. She received 'invaluable' support at EACH sibling groups.
?Parents Kyra Welch and Kieron Griffin of Holt youngster, Kaiden Griffin, four, who has an abnormal heart, lungs and veins, organised a horse ride and dog show at Sly's Farm, North Creake, near Fakenham, to raise money for EACH in July 2017.
?More than £10,000 was raised at a charity dinner at the Assembly House, Norwich, in May 2017. The event was hosted by BBC presenter Carol Bundock. The dinner was provided by celebrity chef Richard Hughes.
?Road work supplier Bateman Groundworks, from Norwich, donated £25,000 for the appeal in September 2017.
?A pupil from Firside Junior School in Hellesdon, Keira Leggett, convinced her school to donate more than £1,000 raised during a fundraising week in June 2017, to the appeal. She was 10 at the time and her sister, who died in 2014, had been cared by EACH.
Family continuing support for EACH after their baby dies at Quidenham
The family of a baby who died at Quidenham is organising a fundraising night for the nook appeal.
Alfie Francis-Leech died on January 7, 2016, aged two-and-a-half-months in his mother's arms at the Norfolk hospice.
He was born a seemingly-healthy baby but was quickly diagnosed with a severe case of spinal muscular atrophy, which stopped his muscle development.
He was with his parents and three siblings, when he died.
They were cared for by Quidenham staff a week after Alfie's death and continue to get support from the charity,
Miss Francis, a cleaner from Southwold Road in Brampton, said: 'Alfie was a sweet little thing. Alfie looked at me and took a big breath - he was so peaceful. Then he went in my arms.'
She is organising a night with a psychic medium and raffle at St Mary's Church Hall, Halesworth, on November 25, from 7pm.
Tickets cost £7 and are available by emailing wfrancis1975@aol.com
