New Respite Home for Children with Cancer
Prestwood, England, United Kingdom
Aim
To purchase a new respite home for children who are suffering from cancer so they can take a break with their families.
We are desperately trying to raise funds to purchase a holiday home for children who have cancer. We already have two lovely lodges sited on a coastal holiday park but the lease will expire in 2023 with no option to renew so we are in urgent need to buy something else so not to disrupt our vital service.
We have been providing free holidays for children suffering from cancer for the past twenty years, we cover all of the UK and the demand is great for our service with very positive feedback from the hospital treatment teams and the families themselves.
During the pandemic, many of our families have been shielding and the need to take a break in a Covid safe holiday home is something they are all looking forward to.
Fundraising has been extremely difficult for our volunteers with all the government restrictions but we strive to carry on in these strange times and hopefully we will reach our goal.
A break away from the demands of harsh cancer treatments can make all the difference to the well-being of the whole family, please make a donation so we can continue our essential work. Thank you.
