THIS Christmas has to be extraordinary. 🎄 Not knowing how much time a family has together can make planning for next year, or even just tomorrow, incredibly emotional and overwhelming. Whilst this time of year can be magical for many, it can be unimaginably difficult for the families we support. That’s why THIS Christmas has to be extraordinary. Every penny will help the families Demelza supports make precious memories that will last a lifetime. 💖🎅 https://lnkd.in/evAiE6w #ThisChristmas #Donate #Demelza #WeAreDemelza #ExtraordinaryCare #Support

Many families we support don’t know what tomorrow will bring - every day is a gift. Sisters Freya and Daisy, are supported by Demelza. Older sister Freya loves to capture voice recordings of their adventures, which Daisy shares with her friends at school. Thank you to Freya for recording our Demelza video voice over. ✨ THIS Christmas, please donate what you can so that together, we can give families like Freya's extraordinary moments, to last a lifetime. https://lnkd.in/g998QNNU #ThisChristmas #Demelza #MagicalMoments #Celebrate #Donate

'Tis the season for spreading smiles! ✨ It is not always possible for our Demelza families to easily pop to a local Christmas party as they can often be inaccessible, overcrowded and the risk of catching infections is greater. So, our teams in Kent, South East London & East Sussex hosted their own festive gatherings complete with Christmas treats and crafts, visits to Father Christmas, presents and light trails, all so that our families don’t miss out! 💙 Well done to our teams for helping to create special memories and thank you to all of our supporters for making this possible for our families this December. 🎄 To help give THIS Christmas to children with serious or life-limiting conditions visit https://lnkd.in/d7bXvjWJ #SpreadingSmiles #Magic #ThisChristmas #PresentDelivery #Demelza #WeAreDemelza #ExtraordinaryCare #Support

This is hugely welcome news for children’s hospices in England and the children and families that use their services. We need to work towards a permanent solution for fair and sustainable funding and would welcome the opportunity to be involved in shaping the NHS 10-year plan to make sure children with serious and life-limiting conditions and their families can access the palliative care they need, when and where they need it – in hospitals, children’s hospices and in the community.
🆕 Huge news today on funding for children’s hospices in England. Together, we have successfully campaigned, and our voices have been heard. This morning, we warmly welcome the UK Government’s decision to increase NHS England funding for children’s hospices to £26 million in 2025/26. In addition, there will also be a £100m in capital funding for all children’s and adults’ hospices in England this year and next, enabling improvements in facilities, IT systems, and outdoor spaces to enhance palliative and end of life care. This is brilliant and most welcome news for our children’s hospices and the families that use their lifeline services. Thank you to Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting for listening to us and the voices of seriously ill children, families and children’s hospices. We look forward to working with you on the details. We also relish the opportunity to shape the NHS 10-Year Plan to make sure seriously ill children and their families can access the palliative care they need, when and where they need it – in hospitals, children’s hospices and in the community.
