Demelza delivers extraordinary care to extraordinary children who are facing serious or life-limiting conditions, throughout Kent, South East London and East Sussex. We’re here for them and their families with expert clinical, emotional and practical support at every step – from first diagnosis and for as long as we’re needed.

Our support is as unique as every family we help, and designed to wrap around their specific requirements and circumstances: from creative therapies and short breaks, to practical and emotional support for families and siblings, and care towards the end of life.

Our specialist nursing and care teams provide expert advice on complex symptoms and medication regimes and are here every day and every night, all year round.

We support families wherever is best for them: in our hospice or in their homes, online, at school and in local communities. When they need us most, we’ll be there; to reassure, to guide and to care. By their side when they feel isolated, helping to create joy in family life during challenging times and making precious memories.

Demelza believes in care that doesn’t back down. We are Demelza.

We chose Demelza as our charity of the year for 2019 as it's an organisation that has a close personal connection to a couple of our colleagues. Having heard more about the fantastic work Demelza does, it was a no brainer to support them this year, as their work for critically ill children and their families is truly invaluable and life changing

Doing events like this bring people together. In my case, I work in a different office, it’s a good way to bring different groups of people together who perhaps wouldn’t get the opportunity to work together all that much.

We have a long-standing relationship with Demelza Kent and it’s a cause that’s very close to our hearts, so we are always looking for ways we can help them.

Halifax and Lloyds get great job satisfaction when working in the Demelza gardens! Not only is it a fantastic charity but the team always comment on how it puts different skills to use, that they are unable to use within the branch.
They get a great sense of achievement and there is a real team spirit evident! It’s a great opportunity for colleagues to come together from different branches too!

Alison Mulford, Halifax

For me it feels amazing to give something back.  We cannot always take part in the events but when I help and participate in the ways that I can I feel like I am making a difference.
The Demelza team are amazing, there are no other words for it.  You are all just so lovely and friendly and the work you do is remarkable.  I am proud to be helping Demelza, what more can I say.
