Demelza

Demelza is Axis’ charity partner.

Our relationship with Demelza goes back to 2003 when Axis formed this special partnership. We started donating to Demelza in 2004 – before the Axis Foundation was born – and have continued to support them in many ways: through donations via the Foundation, many fundraising activities by our Axis employees and through our Charity Ball and Golf Day.

Demelza delivers extraordinary care to extraordinary children facing serious or life-limiting conditions.
Demelza’s work is both essential and admirable and it is because of this that we love working closely with them and take every opportunity to promote and celebrate them.

“We are delighted that this year we will be donating £100,000 to Demelza. That we are able to raise this significant sum for our charity partner is thanks to the incredible support of our many friends who have so generously supported the Axis Foundation at our fundraising events, and to the energy and enthusiasm of Axis employees who have helped us too.

“I know that Demelza is dear to the heart of many – and our donation this year is fantastic evidence of the strength of their affection.

“This exciting news follows on from another milestone we achieved last year: namely the total donations to Demelza by the Axis Foundation topped the £1m mark.

“I am personally very proud that our Foundation has such a significant impact on Demelza’s essential work – improving the lives of children and young people with serious or life-limiting conditions” – Peter Varney, Chairman, Axis Foundation, April 2026
