Catalogue Note
Demelza Hospice Care for Children was created when a young lady called Demelza died of a brain tumour aged just 24. Her mother and father were inspired to build a children's hospice, Demelza House, the first in Kent, which opened in 1998. Now celebrating its 10th Birthday, Demelza cares for over 450 children with life-limiting illnesses and their families across the South East and has a project that requires £6.5 million to build and run the first residential children's hospice in South East London. Wherever our care takes place Demelza has a philosophy that is: "Adding life to days when days cannot be added to life". For more information visit: www.demelza.org.uk
