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.

This week is Baby Loss Awareness Week - a time for thousands of parents, families and friends to unite and commemorate babies' lives who were too short 💚Baby loss is a tragedy that affects 1 in 4 pregnancies in the UK. Stigma and silence often means that families who have suffered loss feel isolated in their grief 💔To honour every little life lost, we stand together with thousands of people around the world to light a candle or share an image of a candle at 7pm tonight (Tuesday 15th October) 🕯This sends a Wave of Light across the world, as we remember babies who were too precious for this earth. Can you join us in the #waveoflight? 🥰 ... See MoreSee Less
