Visit to Derian House Children’s Hospice

Shahnaz and Aimee, our Family Support Coordinators, recently visited Derian House Children’s Hospice.

Derian House helps children and young people, whose lives are too short, to make happy memories in an environment of fun, respect and above all, high quality care.

The hospice provides respite and end-of-life care to more than 400 children and young people across the North West. Services include a hydrotherapy pool, sensory room, soft play, large inclusive playground suitable for wheelchair-users, and a sensory garden full of the sights, smells and textures of nature.

At Derian the whole family is offered a framework of support; with support for siblings, a grandparents’ bereavement group, and counselling sessions for families for as long as they need it.
