Welcome to 'me&dee', the registered charity established to offer and create 'special
moment treats' for when time is precious, for anyone of any age with life
threatening and life limiting conditions

My name is Maria Hanson and I created me&dee as a registered charity in 2006.  

As a disabled woman, I know only too well how treats can become the bottom of a priority

list. My very close cousin Delia and I often spoke about this, and how we would like to set up

our own charity, providing treats and special moments where time is precious, conscious

of the impact that a treat created for just £100 can have, with personal attention

to create special memories.

Sadly, Delia lost her battle with cancer in 2005 before we could achieve our dreams together.

I carry her and our dream in my heart, and five years on, me&dee is creating over 100 special moments a year, and in addition is supporting oncology wards in hospitals and in

hospices with nominations, and our ‘comfort pack scheme’.

You can also find out more about our own cd single ‘head high and smile’ performed by x factor finalist Daniel de Bourg. We shall be drawing up a register of volunteers, who will be known as ‘me&dee angels’ please see our news page for more information

FULL CIRCLE TO RECORD & RELEASE CHARITY SINGLE THIS YEAR

Full Circle is made up of singers that auditioned for The BBC’s new show “The Voice UK” .

In December 2011, Vocal Coach and “The Voice UK” auditionee Paul Stuart Davies posted an invitation on Facebook,

for others who had also auditioned, to join him in forming what was to become Full Circle; a project to release a

charity single featuring unsigned singers from all over the UK.

The charity Me & Dee, based in Derby, was chosen to receive all proceeds generated from sales of the single. Me & Dee, run by Maria Hanson, gives the terminally ill experiences to remember when their time is precious. Read more about the story of Full Circle!
