Help us raise funds in October for hospital bags
In addition to the bags which are sent out via this website, we donate bags to several NHS hospitals. The wonderful nurses hand out the bags to patients at their first treatment. Despite having a huge workload, they say that the positive impact on the patients is worth the additional effort.
Hospital bags are paid for by kind donations and fundraising events. It costs us £4,000-£5,000 for each hospital per year, with which we need as much help as possible. We are raising funds for this via a Tea Morning in October.
Hosting pack
If you think you can pledge £100 by organising a tea morning on 10th October (any date in Oct will do!), or a tea break at work and asking friends or colleagues for £10 each (or whatever they can), please email us here with your name and address and we'll send you a hosting pack:
If you prefer a smaller event (such as sitting on your sofa in your slippers with a custard cream) but can still support us, we'd be so grateful for any donation which you can make here.
The Royal Marsden
It just so happens that October is also the month that we start our newest partnership. We're thrilled to be regularly donating bags to The Royal Marsden in London - founded in 1851 and recognised globally as the gold standard of cancer care and research. Huge thanks to all who made this possible.

Can you put up a poster?
Can you find a home for one (or two?) of our posters? They're A5 and are very good at sharing spaces (they always do their washing-up and never play loud music). If you spy a spare bit of notice board at your community centre, doctor's surgery, village shop or staff canteen, please email us with your postal address and we'll send them straight to you. Huge thanks, as always.

Thank you - it made my morning to hear her voicemail."
