Families of children with serious or life-limiting conditions don’t know how long they will have together, but it is likely their time will be short. Their daily lives will also look very different to how they expected, as they become carers rather than parents. When time together is short, every moment matters more, especially at Christmas. Families say they try to fit decades worth of memories into a few short years, but it can be difficult to find their joy when life is so difficult.

Every child deserves a magical Christmas, and every family deserves to have those moments they will never forget. Demelza creates the time and space for families to enjoy their time together and make precious memories even during the most challenging of times. We ensure that every day is special and every Christmas is magical – whether it is their first, last, or one they were told they would never get. It is these memories that will last a lifetime, no matter how short their time together may
