Our Chief Executive @VinJarrett and lead nurse Melissa were delighted to welcome @SallyAnn1066 MP for Hastings and Rye to our East Sussex hub today.🌟

Sally-Ann spent time visiting our facilities and finding out more about the challenges faced by the children’s hospice sector.

There is still work to do in protecting the grant in the future, making sure it is distributed directly to children’s hospices. Thank you @HelenWhately for your commitment.

[Vin Jarrett @VinJarrett]

We were delighted to host @HelenWhately at our Kent Hospice last week. We welcome yesterday’s news that @NHSEngland’s £25m Children’s Hospice Grant will be maintained next year, funding which is vital in helping us deliver services.

From first diagnosis and for as long as we’re needed, our nurses are always there – we couldn’t do what we do without you.

I’m truly fortunate to have been part of amazing organisation @demelzacharity since shortly after we opened our doors in #Sittingbourne #Kent 25 years ago.

We are delighted to unveil our new branding as part of our strategic ambition and commitment to reaching more children and families who need us📣

[Vin Jarrett @VinJarrett]

Our new logo will help us to reach more children and families who our vital services, recruit more nurses when there are so few in the UK, and attract more essential funding. We love our make over as we feel it represents who we have become, thanks to your help along the way.

[Vin Jarrett @VinJarrett]

We must continue advocating for targeted investments in children's palliative care & comprehensive support for families. The #SpringBudget2023 is an opportunity to reaffirm the government's commitment to seriously ill children & their families. Read more: https://t.co/MU9nnWfU5g

[Vin Jarrett @VinJarrett]

As Chief Executive of Demelza, I acknowledge the #SpringBudget2023 efforts to extend energy bill & childcare support. However, the £300m annual funding gap in children's palliative care in England remains unaddressed. (1/5) #childrenspalliativecare

[Vin Jarrett @VinJarrett]

Andy Fletcher, CEO of @Tog4ShortLives, welcomes the energy support & charity package, but emphasises that the government's efforts must be revised. The childcare reforms do little for parents with seriously ill children. (4/5) #palliativecare
