About the Lottery
Whether you’d spend it on a holiday or doing up the house, or would treat your loved ones to something special, extra cash is always a bonus. Just as you would benefit from a bit more money, so would Demelza. For Demelza children and their families, the most valuable thing we can give is care.
Our specialist care is available across Kent, East Sussex and South East London, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, completely free of charge. From respite care to symptom control, we work with the best nurses, palliative care specialists and doctors to help children and their families live their lives as comfortably and happily as possible, for however long they have.
And that care costs us.
The demand for our services is rising, as medicine progresses and children live longer lives with serious illnesses. Right now, there are almost 50,000 children with serious or terminal conditions in the UK. We are only able to reach 20% of those who need us. Our charity needs to raise £10.5 million a year to help the children who need us.
That’s where you can help us be a leading children’s hospice and change the lives of everyone we help.
Our Lottery is one of the simplest and most sustainable ways you can support Demelza
Every year over 25,000 Demelza Lottery players collectively raise £1.7million
78p of every £1 funds vital care for children with serious or terminal conditions
That means for every chance in the Lottery, you're providing direct support
