Derian House Children's Hospice Charity

Derian House in Chorley, Lancashire (www.derianhouse.co.uk) currently provides support for more than 250 families who have a child with a terminal or life threatening illness and a further 200 or so families are receiving bereavement support. The children need a high level of specialised care but the centralised government funding only provides enough for 5 weeks of the year. They rely heaviliy on public funds which is why we need your help.
