"My daughter Lucy is a very talented young cellist studying at the Royal College of Music in London and we’ve been struggling to find a way to afford to get her the best cello she needs for her studies. This win will enable us to get her the cello of her dreams. It means so much to us, thank you so much.![]()

“I began supporting Derian House because of my sister, Heather, who was a music therapist at the hospice right up until she was sadly diagnosed with cancer. We lost her when she was only 33. It was a huge tragedy for us as a family. She treasured her time at Derian and always said how amazing all the staff were, and what a special place it was for the children and families.![]()

“When we got the call I looked at my daughter Lucy and I said I feel like this is aunty Heather watching over us. Heather was Lucy’s godmother too, and they were very close. It just feels so beautiful, for our connection through Heather to Derian House to be the way that we help Lucy further her cello studies. I can’t tell you what this means to us.”![]()
