Demelza Hospice Care for Children is a charity in the south-east of the UK, providing vital care to hundreds of families across South East London. Providing a range of specialist services, such as daycare, respite, symptom control and end-of-life care and family support services. Caring for children, young people and their families both at their hospice, in the community, and at the hospital wouldn’t be possible without donations which enable Demelza to provide expert and compassionate care to seriously ill babies, children and young people and their families when they need it the most.
Telecoms World is proud to support Demelza Hospice Care for Children for 2017 officially. Demelza wouldn't be able to provide their incredible care without the support of donations, so we hope that throughout the year, with various activities and events, we can raise lots of money for such a worthy cause; enabling families to stay and play together; creating precious moments and happy memories.

The Passion Project is the Milestone Foundation's flagship initiative, a charity established in 2013 to address youth unemployment. The Milestone Foundation created the Passion Project to address rising levels of youth unemployment and disaffection.

Telecoms World has been working with The Passion Project to support them in challenging and inspiring young people and to develop. We are working with them to offer apprenticeships and share our profits and expertise to support young people's full career potential.
