Demelza is delighted to
have been chosen as one
of the local charity partners
for the Brighton
Marathon 2016

In East Sussex, our highly qualified nurses provide specialist care to more than 150
families within their own homes – giving medical, practical and emotional support.
• Demelza has plans to increase its services in East Sussex to reach out to more children with lifelimiting conditions and the partnership with the Brighton Marathon will help us raise vital funds to
achieve this.
• Mollie from Stone Cross, East Sussex, is one of the children who uses our services and her mum Suzie
says she physically couldn’t cope without the support of our hospice at home nursing team. She said:

“

I can relax when Mollie
is with Demelza, they put
your mind at rest. Knowing
they are patient with her,
she’s safe and happy –
that’s a big thing when you
have a special needs
child. Demelza has done
so much for me. It makes
me feel like there’s
someone to help with all
this stress and I don’t need
to do it all on my own
Registered Charity Number 1039651
