It was our pleasure Derian House ❤️

Celebrate good times - come on! Here are the first half of this week's superstars ✨

💚 George Mann ran the Barcelona Marathon last weekend and raised an incredible £1,310 for us here at the hospice.

💚 North West Imprezas met up with 25 Subaru owners to raise funds for us.

💚 We received a fresh batch of Easter chicks in the post courtesy of Sandra McGuire, who's already well on her with knitting for Christmas, too!

💚 The team at North Star dropped by our recently-refurbished car park to help us with a final sliver of tarmacking... and didn't charge us a penny!

💚 We were invited along to an Iftar fast-breaking event for revert Muslims at Deaf Village North West, where Derian House was one of the chosen charities.
