Garage Coffee & Demelza: The Children's Charity

 
Garage Coffee is proud to be a supporter of the children’s charity Demelza, and we need your help in supporting them!

On Wednesday May 12^th Garage was involved in hosting a corporate sponsorship event by teaching a quick, virtual hand brew class with guest speaker Jack Green talking about his journey with mental health and being an Olympic athlete.

The event raised over £1,800, which could cover the cost of 36 hours of care by a Demelza specialist children’s nurse; or it could fund 30 hours of art or music therapy, helping children cope with their condition, build memories and express their feelings.

Demelza provides specialist care and emotional support for children with terminal conditions and their loved ones, so they can enjoy their time together as a family, for as long as they have.  Demelza cares for children with a range of different conditions, some of which are very complex and so rare, they have no name. Every year their work is a lifeline to over 750 children and their families throughout Kent, South East London and East Sussex. 

When a family desperately needs support, Demelza can give them the time, space and attention to cope. From diagnosis, for as long as they’re needed, Demelza deliver specialist care with compassion. Whatever a family decides is best for their child, Demelza will make sure they have the support they need to focus on loving each other and make lasting memories.

They provide specialist care services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, completely free of charge to families. This unique support comes at a price, and at present they’re only reaching 1 in 5 of the children who desperately need our help.

As a charity, they’re almost entirely dependent on the generosity of our supporters to provide the funds that keep their services going.
Please make sure every family can depend on Demelza when they need them most.
