Demelza Hospice Care for Children is a charity in the south east of the UK, providing vital care to hundreds of families across East Sussex, Kent and South East London. \r\n\r\nWe’re all about life – helping those who may not live a long life to live a full life.\r\n\r\nWe’re here to provide compassionate and expert care for seriously ill babies, children, young people and their families - when they need it the most.\r\n\r\nWe’re here to create precious moments and happy memories. In the family home or in our family hospices, Demelza Kent and Demelza SEL. \r\n\r\nAnd if time is tragically cut short, we’re still here. To help ease the family’s fear and anxiety and move forward from their loss. \r\n\r\nAs a charity, not part of the NHS, Demelza is reliant on fundraising, donations and gifts in Wills to raise over £10.5million needed every year to provide care to seriously ill children and their family. \r\n\r\nDemelza Hospices – Our children’s hospices, Demelza Kent in Sittingbourne and Demelza SEL in Eltham, South East London, provide professional, specialist, one-to-one care and support and access to life-enhancing facilities, such as a hydrotherapy pool in Kent, and therapies for children and young people up to the age of 19. \r\n\r\nAs a young person reaches adulthood, we’re here with advice and links to adult care providers for life after Demelza.
