Story

I started this group over 6 years ago, during this time we have helped so many patients and their families, financially, emotionally and physically. These last few months has been a struggle for everyone including other charities, for us the Covid-19 has hit us hard as we had to cancel at least 7 planned fundraisers and even though we are a small charity we still help hundreds of patients. We are 100% Voluntary no one receives a wage, it's only our Volunteer Drivers that receive a mileage for taking patients backwards and forwards to hospital for Life Saving treatment. Over the last few months our Patient Transport has increased by 150% these patients have no other way of getting to the hospital as the ambulances are not able to pick patients up. We have been all over including Richmond, only some patients are still having treatment sadly many are still having their treatment cancelled. Many of our patients have been forgotten about and even though they are extremely vulnerable, they are not getting letters or food, so we deliver Food Hampers.  We have delivered 80 Hampers in 2 weeks and still so many to do, we received a grant from GAMP for 20 hampers for people living around Newron Aycliffe which was a huge help, but we have so many who live in other areas and desperately trying to raise funds to make more up. Please help us to reach out to more Cancer patients
