Story
This will be our 8th year we will be running our Christmas Hamper campaign, which brings so much joy to so many cancer patients in the community and hospital setting.
How does it work?
Every year we surprise adult cancer patients in the community with a luxury food and drink hamper from our charity The Lewis Foundation.
From the Monday 28th October 2024 until Sunday 24th November 2024 at 23:59, members of the public can nominate an adult they know who has been diagnosed with cancer to receive a surprise hamper from The Lewis Foundation. The person nominated must be in an area where The Lewis Foundation currently has a hospital partnership, for the nomination to be accepted.
Once the nomination window closes, we will then see select the recipients. We will co-ordinate with the person who made the nomination the date we will make the delivery to make sure they are present to receive it. Then from 1st December 2024 until Christmas Day members of The Lewis Foundation turn up as a surprise with one of our hampers at a location where we have been told they will be.
How you can get involved?
We are looking for businesses and individuals who would like to sponsor a hamper for a cancer patient.
The cost of the hamper and the contents filled with Waitrose products is £45.
Our nomination process where members of the public can nominate someone diagnosed with cancer starts Friday 1st November - Sunday 24th November 2024. This gives us time to coordinate delivery to the recipient, have the hamper items delivered and packaged, ready to start handing them out on 1st December 2024.
