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.

Wayne has spent 16 years putting students through their paces in his all-day circuit training fundraiser... today, we returned the favour 💚After helping to raise an incredible £107,000 for Derian House Children's Hospice, our Community Ambassador Wayne Hartley deserved a celebration of his own 🥳So, when our Deputy CEO invited him in for a "cuppa and a chat", Wayne thought it was business as usual...Instead, he was presented with a beautiful framed piece of artwork, created by the children and young people we care for, and handed to him by one of our amazing children 💕Then came the biggest surprise of all...As Wayne admired his gift, he entered a room full of staff who burst into applause 👏We paid tribute to Wayne's remarkable legacy - not only the phenomenal £107,000 he's helped raise over the past 16 years, but the hundreds of young people he's inspired to support their local children's hospice ✨From six pupils raising just £100 back in 2010, Wayne's annual circuit training challenge at has become a much-loved tradition at Darwen Vale High School that's changed countless lives 🫶Wayne, as humble as ever, thanked everyone who has been part of the journey, saying the fundraising has always been about "kids doing something for kids" 😊Of course, no celebration would be complete without cake... 🎂And yes... after all the surprises, Wayne finally got to enjoy that well-earned brew ☕Thank you, Wayne. You have made an incredible difference to the children and families we care for 💚 ... See MoreSee Less
