Our welfare projects

A significant proportion of the funds we raise goes towards helping leukaemic children and their families cope with the disease.

A diagnosis of leukaemia is a devastating blow which sends families reeling. It marks the beginning of a long and difficult journey, filled with trips to and from hospital, unpleasant and frightening medical procedures, worry, pain and distress.

We always allocate significant funding towards welfare projects that are designed to help children and families cope with the trauma of leukaemia diagnosis and treatment.

Improvements at Great Ormond Street Hospital

We are currently raising funds to support a much-needed expansion of the oncology facilities at Great Ormond Street Hospital where they are facing a sharp increase in the number of patients they treat.

We have undertaken to raise £2.4 million towards the cost of this work and have already passed the £1 million mark.
