Demelza is a charity that Ian holds exceptionally close to his heart due to his daughter Hallie. Hallie was born with a rare bone disease called Osteopetrosis and is also severely visually impaired. Demelza provides clinical care, therapies, specialised activities and practical support across Kent, South East London and East Sussex.

We understand times are tough and money holds extra value, however, we ask that you donate whatever you can. We will both be hosting and holding different events up to the date of the cycle to try and raise even more!

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. At Demelza, we focus on supporting each child, young person and family we work with to achieve the best possible life. As specialists in care for young people and family support, we will continue to use our outstanding knowledge, experience and expertise to help families enjoy their lives together.
