The Little Things
Derian House documentary
Derian dad Paul Woodward’s documentary, “The Little Things”, dives deep into the world of children’s hospices – and offers an exclusive look behind the scenes at Derian House. Directed by the award-winning Thomas Elliott Griffiths, the film highlights the moving stories and connections between families, staff, and volunteers, showcasing the blockbuster impact of hospice care.
Family Stories
Kacey's story
Our son Kacey is pure joy – always smiling and dancing, with a cheeky charm that melts hearts.
But Kacey has been very poorly throughout his short life, and we have been told to say goodbye to him a heart-breaking nine times.
Kacey is now five, and thanks to a rare multi-organ transplant we never thought possible, we’ve been given the most precious Christmas gift: the freedom of time with our little boy.

49-year-old Dale Turner undertook the challenge to mark three years since his family’s ordeal while raising £5,990 for his local children’s hospice, Derian House 🙌![]()

Over the course of more than two weeks, Dale climbed a staggering 14,354 metres through some of Europe’s toughest mountain terrain, carrying only a backpack and spending nights in basic mountain refuges as he followed much of the world-famous Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) route through France, Italy and Switzerland before continuing alone to Annecy ⛰![]()

Throughout the journey, Dale battled soaring Alpine temperatures, thunderstorms and punishing climbs, before the challenge eventually led Dale back to Annecy, where his daughter Ettie was one of four children injured in the 2023 attack. All four children survived 💫![]()
