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.

Day TWO in the Sahara Desert! 🐫And our 31 trekkers already have plenty of stories to take home with them - from camel selfies and desert wildlife, to tumbles in the sand and a broken boot! 🥾Today was a much bigger challenge, with around 14–18km of walking as they ventured further into the desert, making their way from Bougharn Dunes towards the spectacular Chigaga Dunes 🏜With no set paths to follow, they had to navigate the ever-shifting sand under the hot desert sun, with very little shade ☀After all that, they'll be settling in for another night under the stars, this time at the foot of the mighty Chigaga Dunes, ready for a VERY early start 💤As tomorrow, our trekkers will be up and out before sunrise! It's certainly been a day of adventure, a few challenges and plenty of laughs – and our adventurers are taking it all in their stride 💪A huge well done to everyone taking part. Keep going, you're doing brilliantly! 💚Help support them ⬇www.justgiving.com/campaign/saharadeserttrekforderianhouse ...

A problem shared is a problem… repaired! 🥾When one of our trekkers' boots decided to give up halfway across the Sahara Desert, there was no time to waste - and no time for a shoe emergency!Our 31 adventurers stopped to muck in - they rummaged for whatever supplies they could find, and got very creative with some desert DIY 👏And just like that, the boot was patched up and everyone was ready to hit the dunes again 🐫Who needs a repair shop when you've got 30 helping hands? 💚 Help keep them going⬇️ www.justgiving.com/campaign/saharadeserttrekforderianhouse ...
