Story

I'm lucky enough to work at Derian House and see the incredible work that the team does there every day. During this strange time we're all living in they need our support more than ever, so I thought I'd do my part to raise money. I'd love to raise £600 to sponsor four nurses for a day :) 

I've always thought about shaving my head and now is as good a time as any - nobody is going to see it at the moment except the dogs so why not!!! 

I have pledged to raise £150 to sponsor a Derian nurse for a day - please help me do this. Derian House nurses and support staff care for children and young people 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In one year they provide: 1,405 hours of respite care to give families a much-needed break.460 sessions of bereavement counselling and support for parents, grandparents and siblings for as long as they need it. 582 visits to children and young people in the community 124 nights of care and support in our sunflower rooms (where children lay at rest giving families precious time to say goodbye) Thank you
