Proudly Supporting
Demelza Hospice Care for Children
The Collaboration Network are proud supporters of Delmezla Hospice Care for Children.
Demelza's vision is for life to be better for children and young people who have serious or terminal conditions; and for their parents, brothers and sisters, and those who love them, to receive support.
​
Their mission is to provide specialist care and emotional support for babies, children, young people and the whole family from diagnosis, during day to day family life, times of crisis, end of life and through bereavement. And to influence the care and support provided by others.
Demelza believe every child and young person who has a serious or terminal condition should receive the care and attention they need to live the most fulfilling life they can, and that they and their families have the opportunity to build memories, for however long they have together.
