Lily is 20 and lives with a life-limiting condition. 💙

When she arrives at Demelza, her body can feel tense and stiff, but in the warm water of Demelza’s hydropool and with the support of specialist staff, Lily can relax, move freely and even walk out of the pool.

Your support this summer can make more life-changing moments for young people, like Lily.

For a limited time, every pound you donate to Demelza, your local children’s hospice, is matched.

Grief can feel overwhelming and isolating, but no one should have to face it alone. 💙

Over the past year, we hosted 41 bereavement events, giving families the opportunity to connect, share memories and access support when they need it most.

"That link with other parents is invaluable, and the support from trained professionals stops you feeling quite so isolated." - Donna and Duncan, Joshua’s parents

For Tom and his mum, finding support changed everything. 💙

Adjusting to Tom’s complex needs wasn’t easy and at times felt isolating.

But at Demelza’s Dots stay and play group, Tom can play freely and his mum can connect with other parents who understand.

Right now, you can help children like Tom. For a limited time, every donation is matched, supporting twice as many families when they need it most.
