Our heroes - through their generosity and support, these are the people and companies making this all possible...
Brava Bramley
For the past 4 years we have been lucky enough to experience a small miracle in the form of Chloë Luxton, the inspirational creator of Bramley. Also based in the South West, through good times and not-so-good Covid times, Bramley have continuously supplied us with their innovative, gentle, sustainable skin products for our bags.
Without a pause for any thanks, Chloë and her team have generously provided the ultimate treat for all patients. Bramley - self-described 'plantsmiths' - are a pioneering force for good, with values of kindness for the planet and us all at their core.
We don't have the words to properly express our respect and thanks but look forward to many more positive endeavours together.
Our fantastic friends:
Set up by Kaz, who at the age of 31 received a devastating breast cancer diagnosis, Wigs for Heroes provides grants for those who can't afford a quality wig. During treatment Kaz lost her hair but the NHS could only offer "a couple of hallowe'en rejects". At up to £400, quality wigs are a big investment, but one which allows many women to get on with their lives. Based in Tottenham, Wigs for Heroes have partnered with Hair to Ware to provide much-needed support for the local community.
Stories of Cancer and Hope
Kevin Donaghy has created this very special book written by cancer patients and their friends and family. A cancer patient himself, he raised the funds, collated, edited and published this wonderful book so that others can access and benefit from this printed community for free. He has donated a limited number to Treatment Bag which we include in some of our Mini Bags which Kevin encourages everyone to share.
From Me to You
There is some thing really special about receiving a letter, especially when you’re in the throes of cancer. This wonderful charity collects anonymous letters written by volunteers for cancer patients. The letters aim for a connection and sense of comfort, humour even, at a time of difficulty. We try to include one in every bag.
Something To Look Forward To
This charity is a goldmine of wonderful experiences for cancer patients and their families. Via their website, patients can access a variety of gifts generously donated by individuals and companies, from stays in hotels and houses, to meals in restaurants, beauty treatments and tickets for events. Once a month we team up for a Treatment Bag giveaway.

At the tender age of 18, Grace was diagnosed with stage 3 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. After many gruelling sessions of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, she is now in remission - hooray! But as if getting through the horrendous treatments wasn't enough, Grace also managed to raise an incredible amount of money for charity. She has donated £5,000 to Treatment Bag, so she can give x100 bags to patients at her local hospital. She visited Treatment bag HQ with her mum to help finish preparing the bags and to drive them back to North Wales. What an inspiration she is.
Amazing Grace
"Donating our products to the Treatment Bag was an easy decision.
I hope they make a small difference."
