We raise money to Families living with childhood cancer

Story

Founded in 2015, The Isabel Baker Foundation has worked hard to support families living with Childhood Cancer, helping over 1000 families to date.

Alongside providing food vouchers for families struggling financially & free holidays in our holiday home 'Isabel's Retreat', we are also focused on providing dry suits to children with cancer.

These are not cheap ranging from £350-£400 per custom made dry suit, but they make the world of difference to the families we support.

Without a dry suit, a child with a Hickman line cannot go swimming, have a bath, splash in the sea or play in the paddling pool, without risk of a serious life threatening infection.

One family said "this niche service you offer is so powerful to children and their families. I doubt many people will realise the need or the benefit" "as well as her missing the joy of swimming, activity in the pool will be a significant benefit as she tries to improver her physical control and strength to overcome effects brought on by her surgery last year"

We have a continuous steady flow of dry suit applications (in addition to the other services we provide)

So please, help us raise lots of money to ensure that all children who need a dry suit, will get one.
