DEMELZA House in Sittingbourne, provides terminal and respite care for families and children who are unlikely to reach adulthood. These children come from all over Kent and it costs over £1.9 million a year to operate this hospice alone, all of which comes from charitable donations.

The Kent Messenger in association with The Hop Farm Country Park in Paddock Wood have teamed up to try and raise some money for this worthwhile cause. Although tickets for this event have now sold out you can still help.

At the Black Tie and Diamonds themed ball there will be a high profile charity auction and we need prizes for guests to bid for to raise money. If you are a business who would like to be associated with this great cause or you simply want to make a donation then please call and help us make a difference.

For donations to the auction please call 01622 794639 and speak to Sarah at the Kent Messenger, for all other donations please call Demelza House direct on 01795 845228.
