Practical support

Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. Our Demelza volunteers can help by providing driving support, making life that little bit easier when you’re caring for a child with a serious or life-limiting condition.

Here to help you get where you need to be

Whether it’s getting to your child’s next appointment, a Demelza event or one of our hospices, we can help make the journey a little easier.

We know arranging transport isn’t always easy, so we’re here to help your family get out and about.

“Driving 45 minutes to hospital appointments was a real challenge, but Demelza stepped in to help. Their incredible Practical Support volunteers drove Zak and his daddy to every appointment and brought them home again. All he wanted to do was hold his daddy’s hand in the back of the car and thanks to the Demelza volunteer drivers he was able to."
