Demelza represented at King’s royal garden party

Two representatives from Demelza have attended a royal garden party hosted by King Charles today (Friday). 

The event was held at Buckingham Palace and is one of several parties His Majesty and Queen Camilla will host this summer to honour members of the public, with a particular focus on celebrating frontline workers.

More than 30,000 people are invited to the parties each year, which begin with the royal family arriving and the national anthem, before guests can enjoy music, afternoon tea and a chance to look round the palace gardens.

Demelza’s Children’s Palliative Care Nurse and Community Team Lead Beth Helen and volunteer Cathy Gundry were both in attendance.

The pair were nominated to attend by Demelza’s CEO Lavinia Jarrett, who was asked to put forward a selection of people to receive an invite.

She said: “Nominating individuals is always hard, so I chose 10 people I thought were representative of the great work Demelza does from across our sites and from different teams.

“Beth and Cathy work tirelessly in their roles and are always willing to help, keeping children and families at the centre of what they do.

“I feel very proud they were able to fly the Demelza flag on behalf of everyone at such a special event.”
