Welcome to Derian House

We care for more than 400 seriously ill babies, children and young people across the North West helping them make the most of every moment.

Support us

Care is free for families, but it will cost £6 million to run services at Derian House this year, and we rely on the generosity of our kind supporters to keep doing what we do.

Are you a Derian family?

Visit our brand new family website where you can find out more about Derian House, book onto sessions in our pool and cinema, and learn more about how we can help.

It's not goodbye... it's 'see you later'! 🫶Last week, our Leo the Lion enjoyed his final stay at Derian House, before he turns 26 and graduates from using children's hospice services ✨And what better way to celebrate our brilliant boyo... 👀...than with a trip out with his best friends to Ma Kelly's in Blackpool! Iconic 🤩Over the years, Leo has been an absolute joy to have here at the hospice - not only does he have the ability to put a smile on the faces of everyone he meets, but he's also been an incredible supporter of ours outside of the hospice too - taking part in events such as Jingle all the Way and the Derian Ball, whilst even partaking in a virtual sponsored walk during lockdown, which raised over £6,500! 👏We're certainly going to miss Leo's wicked sense of humour, his karaoke requests, and most of all - his friendship... b#cushty039;re sure we'll be seeing him again soon #CUSHTY 💚 ...
