My name is Maria Hanson and I set up my charity in July 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, offering to provide treats and special moments where time is precious.

Sadly, Delia died in 2005 from cancer before we could achieve our dreams together. I carry her in my heart and with the help of my daughters, family, friends and supporters, me&dee is now arranging special moments to create lasting memories all over the UK – with the support from Paul meaning we have moved from around fifteen a year to fifteen a month.

If you would like to donate to me&dee you can visit www.justgiving.com/meanddee/donate or you can contact us here

"My lovely younger sister Shanie, aged 53, passed away peacefully after a long illness so courageously born on 7th August 2009. At peace and without pain, but so very sadly missed by all who loved and knew her".
