Why not help us brighten the day of someone diagnosed with cancer via our charity The Lewis Foundation who are currently in hospital right now.
For those in hospital, people experience a variety of emotions such as
Scary
Isolating
Lonely
Upset
Anger
We provide our variety of free gift packs and support to help pass the time & provide comfort. Items range from craft kits, books, toiletries packs and more.

They are not forgotten
As a society we care
They are not alone
