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?

The early bird catches the sunrise! 🌅An incredibly early start for our 31 Sahara trekkers, who headed out into the darkness, torches in hand, to climb the mighty 100-metre-high Chigaga Dunes 😍After making their way to the highest dunes, they took a moment to sit together and watch the sun rise over the Sahara 🌞It was quite an emotional moment as the first light crept across the desert... the changing colours of the dunes made for a spectacular sight And of course, who could resist the temptation to roll down some of the Sahara's biggest sand dunes? 😂 More on that later What a beautiful way to begin the day ❤️Support our trekkers⬇️ www.justgiving.com/campaign/saharadeserttrekforderianhouse ...
