Leave a Father’s Day dedication
This Father’s Day, take a moment to thank or remember someone special by leaving them a dedication. Whether it’s for your dad, step dad, grandad, partner or a father figure, you can create a personal message celebrating them through our dedication page.
To make it even more special, you can also upload photos and memories to personalise your dedication. Once shared, it becomes part of our online Father’s Day dedication page, a place filled with stories from people across Demelza’s community.
We would be grateful if you would also consider donating to Demelza alongside your dedication. Every pound you give helps us continue providing expert clinical care and creating moments of joy for children and families in your local community.
