Every pound counts this summer for Demelza, your local children’s hospice.
Give today to double your impact
Thanks to the generosity of the Freddie Green and Family Charitable Foundation, all donations up to £100,000 will be matched until Sunday 13 September*.
One child in every 150 lives with a serious or life-limiting condition and while we can't change what families are facing, you can help change how it feels.
By supporting Demelza's Summer Appeal, your donation will go twice as far. Donate today, so that every donation can be matched £ for £.
Donate today and every £ will be matched.
