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.

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.

✨ PEER SUPPORT ✨This #YouthWorkWeek, we're shining a light on what Youth Work at Derian House looks like, and how we help our youngsters shape such an important stage of their life 💚We get a lot of our young people saying ‘I can just be myself at Derian House’ 😍Bringing youngsters together can help to form friendships based on shared experiences and understanding collective identities. They are no longer the only lad in a chair or the only girl who is fed via a tube, and this helps enormously with self-confidence and acceptance 🙌At Derian House, they can just be themselves first, but also be confident that their medical needs are also supported 🥰Friday Night Club (our version of a Youth Club) invites young people to meet and form friendships, and engage in fun activities with peers in an open and supportive environment 🫶The National Youth Agency | #YWW23 ...
