Sun, soil and some helping hands…🌞🍃

A big thank you to Clarins and Greenfingers Charity for joining us last week for their annual volunteering day in our sensory garden. 👨‍🌾

Opened in May 2024, this beautiful space at our Sittingbourne site was specially designed as a fully accessible, therapeutic outdoor area for the children and families we support - and it continues to offer a peaceful place for play, reflection and making memories.

It was wonderful to see the team getting hands-on to help keep this special place thriving for everyone at Demelza to enjoy.

We’re so grateful for your continued support – we loved having you back! 🌸

Think you’ve got the best golf swing? 👀🏌️‍♂️ We asked around at our Demelza Golf Day…

From big swings to friendly rivalries, last month’s event at London Golf Club had it all - sunshine, laughs and a little bit of friendly competition. ⛳️

Supporters and sponsors came together for a fantastic day, raising vital funds for children with serious or life‑limiting conditions and their families.

💙 Huge thanks to everyone who joined us and helped to make the day so memorable. We hope to see you next year!

From kick-off to a nail-biting penalty shootout, had a fantastic day at the Bromley FC annual 🏆

Our team featured players from some of our amazing corporate partners: Berkeley Group, , MSIG and NatWest, all of whom support Demelza through fundraising, volunteering and sponsorships. 🙌

After a tense penalty shootout, Judge & Priestley Solicitors, who also do some incredible fundraising for Demelza, came away as the winners.

A massive thank you to Bromley FC for organising such a fantastic day. 💙

Because of you, we can continue providing expert care and creating precious moments for those we support.

Thank you for being part of – we simply couldn’t do it without you. 👏✨
