Delamore Supported Charity 2024 - Hugs Children's Cancer Charity

We at Hugs Childrens Cancer Charity are delighted to have been chosen by Delamore Art as their chosen charity for 2024. The exhibition in The Delamore Gardens and House is an amazing opportunity for us to help raise awareness for our cause and work, whilst allowing the public the unique opportunity to access some incredible works of art.

As a Plymouth based Charity, we support families who have/had a child with childhood cancer across Devon and Cornwall. Whether emotional support, making a memory or helping families keep in touch, Hugs Children's Cancer charity provides them with a place to turn.

The charity was formed in 2015 by the Hallam family, following the devastating blow of a cancer diagnosis for their oldest child, Henry, who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, Neuroblastoma, at the tender age of 3. Following 14 months of aggressive and invasive treatment which saw the family living 120 miles away from their home and support network in Plymouth, Henry’s mum, Elsbeth, having given birth to her second child whilst living away, wanted to ensure that families facing the fear and loneliness that they had experienced, would not be alone in their journey.

When Henry was first diagnosed, the family were aware that locally no child had survived neuroblastoma before his diagnosis. Henry’s parents wanted to make a difference to other families who like them, have been thrown into the traumatising world of childhood cancer. They wanted to share their experiences and give other parents a platform to talk to each other about treatments and side effects. Elsbeth states ‘Hugs from Henry (the original charity name) was born out of the pain we felt and the most urgent need to help others in these circumstances’. Having completed the clinical trial, Henry has been left with long-term disabilities, but at aged 14 is concentrating on building his future and using his experiences to support others on their journeys.

Since the charity opened, the reach of the help and support we provide has continued to grow, and it is through the support of amazing organisations such as Delamore House that we are able to continue our work. We have been able to support families not only during their treatment journey, but afterwards, and continuing to support our angel families who have lost a child to cancer. Through care packages, grants, family away days, free use of our respite home and providing valuable peer to peer support for families, we hope to be able to continue to grow and support all these families in their darkest times.

Overcoming MS - Delamore Arts Supported Charity 2022

Delamore Arts is delighted to announce that this years supported Charity will be Overcoming MS.

Overcoming MS is the world’s leading multiple sclerosis healthy lifestyle charity. We understand that living with multiple sclerosis can be overwhelming — but there is realistic hope of living well.

The OMS program evolved from a list Professor George Jelinek wrote and kept on his kitchen fridge in 1999, a lifestyle of habits he would practice to keep himself well. This program was published as a book in 2000, and exists today in its most recent 2016 edition.

Overcoming MS the charity was established in 2012 by Linda Bloom. Thier vision is that everyone living with multiple sclerosis worldwide is informed, supported and empowered to manage their MS to lead the fullest life possible, following the lifestyle changes that helped both George and Linda’s live well with MS.

Sue Ward

We are really sad to announce that staunch Delamore artist and supporter Susan Ward has sadly died. Sue studied at Chelsea College of Art and Design in the late fifties and early sixties where she came in contact with a wide diversity of artistic activity. She enjoyed the challenge of different media and consequently did not limit herself to one style though more recently she concentrated on decorative and personal interpretations of shapes, pattern and colour she observed in nature. Sue was a gentle soul with a sharp sense of humour and definitley kept us on our toes when she helped with the picture hanging during preparation for Delamore Art each year. She will be greatly missed.
