Situation
Cancer affects 1 in 3 people nationally, impacting individuals, families and friends. The demands of treatment, frequent appointments, lifestyle adjustments, and work displacement, puts immense strain on patients not only mentally and physically, but also financially. During and after treatment, at a time when people most need to have a positive event in their diaries to focus on, the financial burden of cancer means that very often they are unable to afford it.
Solution
Our team work to procure gifts and experiences to give everyone who accesses our service 'Something To Look Forward To'. From concerts tickets to cottage holidays, dinners for two to days out with family at a zoo, we aim to give everyone the opportunity to create memories and have some time to escape their world of cancer. Working closely with business partners we are able to increase the value of gifts we give out compared to the cost of delivering our service by 200%.
