What we do
The Daisy Garland charity was set up in November 2004 to keep Daisy’s memory alive and to help other little children like her.
We fund an increasing number of Ketogenic Dietitians who work in National Health Hospitals treating hundreds of children with intractable epilepsy.
We are the only UK charity funding Ketogenic Dietitians - each dietitian costs in the region of £26,000 per annum. If you think you could help us fund our next Daisy Garland Ketogenic Dietitian go to HOW YOU CAN HELP. Be in touch today.

BBC Spotlight Southwest News Interview 5 June 2007
Sara, Daisy’s mum appeared on the 6.30pm local BBC News, raising awareness of The Daisy Garland charity and getting the word out that we are now ready to fund another ‘Daisy Garland Ketogenic Dietitian' here in the South West.
The article was linked up to the success story of a local child who has been on the Ketogenic Diet for several years and is doing incredibly well. It’s sad to think that this family had to travel all the way to Great Ormond Street to start this diet.
