Last year we’ve embarked on an endurance karting challenge and launched a #Race4Children campaign in order to raise money for Demelza Hospice Care for Children whilst competing in a series of events. That summer events were unfortunately disrupted due to Covid-19. But this year we're starting again! And we'll be competing in a series of UK events over the course of summer - so keep your donations coming and together let's help Demelza in getting the funds they need to keep providing the outstanding level of care to children with terminal conditions!

Our teams will be racing to raise awareness and gather much needed by Demelza funds -  especially now, when charities are in a very difficult financial situation. 

All funds raised go directly to Demelza children's hospice charity, which provides palliative care for children with terminal conditions, helping those who may not live a long life to live a full life and provides all required support for their families. 

Every little donation can make their short lives better! Did you know that for example:

• £11 could pay for a precious hour of care by a Demelza care assistant

• £15 could help pay for personalising a bedroom for a child’s end of life care

• £25 could pay for a day of delicious meals for a family of four staying at Demelza 

• £40 could provide an hour of specialist care for a child in one of our hospices or in their own home

• £60 could pay for an hour of art or music therapy for a child or sibling

• £200 could cover the average cost of a family going through the referral process to access vital care and support from Demelza? 

Bringing up children and raising a healthy, happy family is hard work at the best of times. When a child is born with or develops a terminal condition, the emotional and physical impact affects the whole family and can be overwhelming. Demelza focuses on supporting each child, young person and their families and works with them to achieve the best possible life. 

We’d like to invite everyone to support this great cause and spread the news about supporting this incredible children charity! In normal times the vast majority of funding comes from the public, and their amazing supporters, and they need all our help - now and in the long-term. 

We supported Demelza during our past Open Day events and we had the privilege of visiting them to experience first hand how much difference and joy the wonderful Demelza team in Eltham brings to children with terminal conditions, making sure they and their families have all the psychological support they need and plenty of means to create great experiences for all to remember and cherish! Visiting the hospice with our team, learning about all the incredible work they are doing and hearing stories of children who are under their care, was truly an eye opening experience for all of us at Grabex and made Demelza even closer to our hearts!

We need to help Demelza deal with the impact of the virus so they can continue to support the children who need their care for non-COVID conditions and experience life to the full again! That is why our teams will be racing to gather much needed funds  especially now, when charities are in a very difficult financial situation.
