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.

Not once, not twice, but THREE times now, founder of CHAT UK - Children's Hospices Across The UK, Francesca Lennon, has celebrated #ChildrensHospiceWeek with the help of her trusty companion... her road bike! 🤩![]()

Joined by family members of the children she’s supported during her career in hospice care, Francesca's 'Spin for the Stars' challenge spun into action on Sunday morning for a round-the-clock stationary cycle, representing the 24-hour care that families give to their seriously ill children, and the 24-hour support that the UK's 53 children's hospices provide for families ✨![]()

Back in 2022, Francesca cycled to every single children's hospice in the country, and we welcomed her here at Derian House with open arms as she attempted to raise as much money as possible on her epic challenge 🚴![]()

Francesca - like every other hospice worker across the country - sees #CHW as an opportunity to bring people together to help raise awareness and funds for the incredible work children's hospices provide 🏡![]()
