We are Demelza
This Christmas we are asking you to bring sunshine to children with serious or life-limiting conditions and their families, in your local community.
Demelza is there at every step, from first diagnosis and for as long as we’re needed, with family services, specialist nursing care and short breaks.
With more than 25 years experience, we provide clinical care and expert practical support to help families enjoy special moments and make lasting memories.
Here when we're needed most
At Demelza, we believe every child and every family deserves the chance to live a fulfilling life. Our holistic, wraparound support is here to help them treasure every moment and make special memories.
We support families when and where they need us most, in our hospices, at home, in their local communities, at school and online.
