Story

Lorraine and Lee Lewis were so moved when Lees mum was hospitalised with cancer that it led them to set up a charity.Recognising the fear, upset and loneliness faced by individuals undergoing cancer treatment and their loved ones, the duo were determined that their charity would make a real difference. They set about sourcing donations, packaging and delivering gifts, whilst giving support to patients on oncology wards. That was April 2016, when The Lewis Foundation was born.Today, the team has almost 50 volunteers and hundreds of regular supporters. The Lewis Foundation has gone from delivering 80 gift packs a month to one hospital, to delivering over 2,000 gifts to 17 hospitals in the Midlands every month.Patients pick their gift from a gift list with 29 different packs to choose from and no donations taken in return.Depending on which pack you choose, it may contain overnight essentials and toiletries, craft set, hydration supplies, puzzles.
