Care packs: providing comfort in difficult moments
Grants: easing financial burdens and creating lasting memories

Derek's Place offers age-specific care packs that can be distributed to palliative care facilities or hospitals. These packs provide age-appropriate, engaging activities to support children's emotional expression and well-being. They help minimise stress for carers, creating a more comforting environment in challenging times.

Derek’s Place provides grants of up to $1,000 for families with a terminally ill parent and a child under 13. These grants assist in creating memorable experiences or covering funeral costs. Our simple application process and quick review aim to ease financial strains and support families in making meaningful memories.
