Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | Our purpose is to relieve the needs of children suffering from childhood cancers and histiocytosis and support parents/carers of these children through the provision of gifts and activities to enhance their physical, emotional and psychological health, ease suffering and provide comfort. We also raise awareness about childhood cancer, in particular histiocytosis, and provide support and information to families. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
We have continued to focus on helping the local children’s cancer ward at Leicester Royal Infirmary assisting play specialists by arranging toy donations for the hospital play rooms. We have also been in discussions about the creation of a therapeutic toy idea for children on the ward to aid emotional wellbeing and relieve pain and anxiety. Our bespoke gift donations have been delivered to children with cancer and histiocytosis once a nomination is received by their parent or carer. This has proven to be most successful in providing comfort during treatment. We have continued to raise awareness by sharing our personal story about |
| histiocytosis and created leaflets and charity fundraising packs which will be used to distribute to fundraisers and businesses to gain further support and awareness. We also have continued to work on our social media presence and had success via facebook donations online. Our gift boxes to help the parents staying on the ward with their child, containing items of comfort and essentials was trialed at the LRI also and we await feedback for these in order to move forward in providing further gift boxes in future. |

Achievements and Performance
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | We have been able to reach many families throughout the UK via our unique gifting schemes for children with cancer and histiocystosis and we are very pleased with the feedback received from these families regarding how much it helped their child. Our Box of Comfort was also launched to help parents staying on the hospital ward at LRI and these were also well received in helping parents to cope during the stressful time. We await feedback on these to plan ahead for further boxes to be made. Our continued links with the play specialists at Leicester Royal Infirmary has widened our reach also to help children on the ward and also to plan ahead in the production of therapeutic toys to help in their management during invasive procedures and prolonged time spent in hospital. This is something very valuable and an area in which we feel we can bring some great initiatives. We have donated hundreds of toys to the childrens cancer ward and liase regularly with the play specialists to see how we can help. These toys have all been essential in ensuring the children stay positive and emotionally well, and have been a great resource in the hospital play rooms. We are looking to link with further childrens charities including helping the play team at Addenbrookes hospital. |
