Snowdrop Remembrance
Families are warmly invited to attend a Snowdrop Remembrance in March at the Demelza Kent or South East London sites.
These events will provide a space for families to reflect and remember and allow opportunities to meet other families. Staff and volunteers will be on hand to support various activities including the planting of spring flowers, creating in-memory crafts and lighting candles.

Chocolate eggs
We are pleased to offer families the opportunity to collect chocolate eggs, donated by supporters, from our sites during events, meetings, or at their convenience. Please do not turn up to collect your chocolate eggs until you have been notified that they are available for collection.
