About us
Aoife's Bubbles Charity is the UK's only registered childhood cancer charity, dedicated to raising germ cell cancer awareness, in loving memory of our founder's daughter Aoife Flanagan. Aoife's charity was formed following her passing, aged just 3. Her premature death was a result of a delayed diagnosis; only having her cancer diagnosis for 5 days. Aoife had been seen upwards of 10 times by both GP's and A&E staff in the weeks and months leading up to her untimely passing. Aoife's Bubbles Charity campaigns for faster diagnosis times for children with cancer, as well as being the UK's only registered childhood cancer charity to raised germ cell cancer awareness in children, with this type of cancer being diagnosed in 45 children in the UK per year. Aoife's Bubbles Charity also provides acts of joy and respite to children and their families affected by childhood cancer, meaning families can make much needed memories together at the worst times of their lives. Aoife's Charity also funds valuable research for children with solid tumours with the Institute of Cancer Research, specifically the eMART trial. We currently pledge £15,000 a year for one arm of this trial, but we are pledging to raise over 3 years £192,000. This will help fund 64 children to have blood sampling taken on this clinical trial to find safer and kinder treatments for children, who deserve to survive their cancers. Currently, there are only 4 drugs - all of which were designed for adults - to treat children with solid tumours. Given the differences between adult's and children's bodies, these drugs have long lasting and devastating affects on the children receiving them. We want to make a change to these frightening facts.

A comment from Aoife's mummy, Eilish Flanagan: One of my biggest aims for Aoife's Charity has always been, and will always be - childhood cancer awareness, particularly Germ Cell Cancer in children. I don't want to scare parents, but I feel obliged to empower them. Raising childhood cancer awareness is actually quite hard to show tangibly as a charitable aim, but it is something Aoife's team work so hard at! I'm just going to leave Aoife's symptoms here *Constipation *Night Sweats *Mood changes *Repeated infections *Lumps and bumps *Bruising *Unexplained weight loss *My Own Excessive feeling something was seriously wrong Aoife's Constipation wasn't resolving with medication and time and time again, I was dubbed paranoid. If something isn't resolving with your child, it isn't normal. You know your kids best, don't let anyone make you feel otherwise I'm definitely not saying every child with Constipation has cancer. But it is a common sign/ symptom - so don't be scared to push for testing, rule something sinister in too early before it's too late. This thinking. This knowledge - would have saved my girl. Aoife - I remember this day, just after Christmas walking around the woods and playing in the park, such a happy time. Who knew what was awaiting us in just a few months time. Love you always, Your Mummy xxxxxxx #childhoodcancer #childrenwithcancer #germcellcancer

**Shared with permission** 🕯️ Lily's Lanterns 🕯️ Aoife's Bubbles Charity are proud to be supporting amazing Lily. Lily is 9 years old and currently in treatment for a wilms tumour, a solid tumour which effects the kidneys. Lily is amazing, as are her Mum, dad and brother. Lily has recently undergone a huge surgery to remove her tumour, taking a kidney with it. We want to make Christmas special for this family and alleviate a burden so the family can spend time together recovering from surgery. We'd love to raise £1,000 by lantern sponsorship. They'll be on display on 7th December at GOALS Southend, on our Firewalk night. We have 30 Lanterns at £35 each. With every penny going to Lily's family, to make their Christmas special this year. We will display your lantern with your name on, on the night. Picture of last lantern sponsorship drive. Lily - we're with you every step of the way, our girl watching over you 💗 Team Aoife for Lily ~ Fighting Children's Cancer Together ~ 🦋 To participate - donate £35 per lantern via the JustGiving link in the comments using the name you wish to be displayed on the lantern. For alternative payment methods, email info@aoifesbubbles.co.uk 🦋

We'd like to say an absolutely massive thank you to Liz & the UK Railtours team for their absolutely massive cheque for an absolutely massive amount! 🤩 UK Railtours run a charity raffle, and Aoife's legacy was the lucky beneficiary of their most recent one. They presented Aoife's grandad Patrick Flanagan with this giant cheque at our recent Charity Veteran's Football Match. 🥰 They said, "UK Railtours have supported many charities over the years, all of which have been incredibly deserving and worthwhile. However, the story behind this family run charity and getting to know the people behind it made it stand out in our minds." From Aoife, Eilish Flanagan, and the whole team - thank you for your support, and for attending our recent event. We can't put our appreciation into words. ❤️
