At Demelza, we’re here for every child and family who need us, especially when the unimaginable happens.

Our bereavement suite offers families up to five precious days to stay close to their child after they have died, time to grieve, reflect and say goodbye in their own way.

A donation of just £5 helps ensure we can continue to support more families when they need us most.

Joshua was a 12-year-old boy who loved anything on the water - swimming, sailing, bodyboarding. 🌊

After countless rounds of treatment for Ewing’s Sarcoma, Joshua died just four days before his 13th birthday.

Demelza helped the family to make memories they can cherish forever – including a clay cast of all their hands together, so they can still hold Joshua’s hand every day.

By donating £5, you can help ensure more families receive this extraordinary care when they face the unimaginable.

Demelza Hospice Care for Children

Demelza Hospice Care for Children is a charity providing specialist care and emotional support for children with terminal conditions, and their loved ones across Kent, South East London and East Sussex.

Our Mission: At Demelza, we believe every child and young person who has a terminal condition should receive the care and attention they need to live the most fulfilling life they can. We aim to provide specialist care and support to babies, children, and young people, to give them and their families the opportunity to build memories, for however long they have together. Demelza’s care covers diagnosis, day to day family life, times of crisis, end of life, and through bereavement, providing support for all those affected.

Company Overview: Demelza provides specialist care and emotional support for children with terminal conditions and their loved ones, so they can enjoy their time together as a family, for as long as they have.

We care for children with a range of different conditions, some of which are very complex and so rare, they have no name.
