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.

The Little Things

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.

The Little Things is currently touring film festivals across the globe and it is hoped a distributor will be secured to allow the film to be showcased to the world.

Daniella's story

Hello, my name is Daniella. I’m a 27-year-old mum and I live in Westhoughton with my husband Julian, 32.

We’re just a normal family, but we’ve had to deal with a lot of heartache, having suffered the loss of our daughter, and then one of our twin boys.

I want to tell you how your local children’s hospice, Derian House, has been a light in the darkest of times.
