Story
Leukaemia Care is the UK’s leading leukaemia charity. For over 50 years, Leukaemia Care have been dedicated to ensuring that everyone affected by leukaemia receives the best possible diagnosis, information, advice, treatment and support.
Through our joint program – CAR-T Away From Home, the Leukaemia Care and Dalata partnership will support leukaemia patients aged between 0-25 years old. The hotel group will be providing long stay accommodation close to the hospitals that can administer a new treatment called CAR-T, which requires daily hospital visits for around 30 days.
Only 9 hospitals in Great Britain offer this treatment and the locations match conveniently with Dalata hotels, with this project ensuring it is possible for patients to get the treatment they need. Through fundraising, financial grants are also offered to these patients to help buy food and cover any additional travel costs while receiving treatment.
