This campaign has now closed
To provide free holidays/short breaks, to families of teens and young adults with cancer. Ben himself set up the foundation before he passed away, aged 18 in August 2020. It was his wish to give families a break away from hospitals, and home for a few days.

Situation
The hourly/daily battle for children/young children and their families facing a cancer diagnosis is a relentless challenge for all involved. Our local children's hospital in Bristol has no funding for the non essential equipment needed to help make the children's stay a little easier.
Solution
Ben knew first-hand how valuable family time was, and how much of an emotional and financial strain a cancer diagnosis can carry. We currently have 3 lodges for families to relax, reconnect, make memories and forget about cancer for a few days. We have an ongoing, close relationship with the hospital to supply coffee/food vouchers, we have supplied air conditioning units, refrigerators and games to make their stay a little more comfortable.
