Hospital bags
The idea for Treatment Bag was born as one of our trustees was being treated with chemotherapy in hospital when all the patients in the room were gifted a bag of apples by a fellow patient. This gesture of care and hope is something that we want all patients to experience.
So, in addition to the bags which can be sent out in return for a donation via this website, we have formed partnerships with several hospitals and oncology centres in the South West, where we hand out smaller bags (we call them handbags!) for free. The wonderful nurses ensure that as many new cancer patients as possible receive a bag on their first visit.
We fund these bags ourselves via kind donations and fundraising initiatives, with which we need as much help as possible. So please keep an eye out for our Instagram account and our emails where we announce all campaigns. Or complete the form below if you have any great ideas.
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.
"She got the bag today, and to quote her, 'it's blown me away'.
Thank you - it made my morning to hear her voicemail."
