What is Demelza?
Demelza Hospice Care for Children is a UK charity providing specialist palliative care, support and short-break services for children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and their families. Demelza offers clinical care, emotional support, play and therapeutic services both from its hospice sites and within families' homes - helping families make the most of precious time together. The charity's care is designed to be personal and flexible, supporting children and families through diagnosis, treatment, end-of-life care and bereavement.
Demelza operates across Kent, South East London and East Sussex, serving communities in these regions with a mix of hospice-based care and outreach support to ensure families can access help where and when they need it.
Demelza Charity Shops
Demelza runs a network of charity shops throughout its service areas that sell donated preloved items including clothing, accessories, books and household goods, with proceeds helping fund its hospice care and family support services. These shops also provide opportunities for local supporters to donate items, volunteer and shop for bargains - contributing directly to the charity's ability to continue providing free specialist care to children and families.
