Elena and Ali are joining our Volunteering Fundraiser Luke Claxton on his annual Bridges Walk in London on the 18th May to raise vital funds for Children and Young People with Cancer that are supported by the charity as well as their families.

Welcome to the campaign fundraising page of the Veronica Claxton Memorial fund.

The VCMF is a fund I set up in memory of my dear mum who left a huge hole in all our lives on December 8th 2008 when she lost her short battle with cancer aged just 50.

Keeping her name alive and helping to support others was a real inspiration for me and the fundraising soon began in mid 2009. To date as of September 2023 we have managed to raise over £350,000 and £450,000 for all charities.

Our work has seen us recognised with various awards both locally and nationally with a trip to 10 Downing St after being named a 'point of light' by former prime minister David Cameron and a regional fundraiser of the year award courtesy of the Pride of Britain awards where we competed with 16 others for the national fundraiser of the year. We were then delighted to receive an invite to Buckingham Palace as part of the Kings coronation celebration in May 2023.
