children, teens, young adults, and their families battling childhood cancers
from birth to 18 years of age nationally.

and opportunities.

support and share knowledge.

Henry’s Legacy, The Henry Allen Trust (THAT) are proud to have been a registered charity for 8 years and this year has continued to be one of the most rewarding. The board of directors continue to be very dedicated, along with our Events Committee and THAT Support Committee. Continuing to expand and grow Henry’s Annual Events and sustainability. Following on from 2021, moving into 2022 concentrated on our larger events and help other companies help us to fundraise with less resources being used. The volunteers continue to grow and are extremely active during various parts of the year and at a variety of events. THAT have reached even more children, teens, young adults, and families battling Childhood Cancers in MK, surrounding areas and across the UK. Team Henry have continued to improve the processes within MKUH shared Care Hospital and been involved in making some important decisions improving the care and facilities. Also within the Thames Valley Cancer region, We continue to raise vital awareness of Childhood Cancers with various literature, social media presence and at seminars, conferences, and training sessions. Our vision for Henry’s Home has been placed on hold due to the constraints surrounding the new management within the hospital. There is still hope that this will still be something we will be evaluating in the coming years. However, we have found a piece of land and investigations are ongoing. Dawn Allen, Founder and Director continues to be a voice and a PEADs Representative and now sits on many boards and a chairperson of Milton Keynes Cancer Patient Partnerships as well as a lot of CCGs and MDT’s. Junior Trustees continue to be a voice and make a real difference to Henry’s Legacy.

Our Financial grants continued to be a BIG hit with all families and CLIC Sargent social workers we support. This has now rolled out to most of the oncology wards in the UK. Team Henry also confirmed the introduction of hospital visits and taking in food for families in isolation and treats really helped the children and families. The taxi service for the families to and from treatment centres continued to work very well. THAT vehicle was also working very well and helped us transport the families and our equipment around, alongside packages and gifts. THAT continued to support the SIOPEN Trial for Neuroblastoma. Continued support for CLIC Sargent Social Workers up and down the country with families. Continued health and well-being support with our trained counsellor. The families have truly benefited from this, and our counsellor has worked alongside other health care professionals. The pandemic really hit us hard financially, we found innovative ways to work around it and continued to find alternative ways to support the post-pandemic. BUT this is still impacting us. **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** Networking has continued to be a good source for outside help and expertise within the corporate environment.
