Our Story

For a child battling cancer in India, the fight is twofold. There's the fight against the disease, and then there's the fight for a safe place to sleep, a nutritious meal, and the simple comfort of a clean, hygienic home. For families from rural villages who must travel to city hospitals for treatment, this second battle can feel impossible to win, adding immense stress to an already heartbreaking time.

This is the critical gap filled by St. Jude India ChildCare Centres. We provide a 'home away from home'—at no cost—for these brave children and their families, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: healing.

The £100,000 Challenge: 100 Hearts, One Home

We are bringing together a special group of 100 dedicated supporters—people like you—to achieve something extraordinary.

Our goal is simple and powerful: if 100 of us each pledge £1,000, together we will raise £100,000. This is the exact amount needed to fully fund an entire St. Jude Centre for a full year, providing a circle of care for children with cancer and their families.

A pledge of £1,000 a year is just £83 per month. This collective gift will become a lifeline.

Your £1,000 Gift Will Provide a Universe of Care:

Your contribution creates a stable and nurturing environment where children can recover. It directly funds:

A Safe Haven: Clean, safe, and comfortable family accommodation throughout the draining months of treatment.

Vital Nutrition: Healthy, nourishing meals and cooking facilities to help children regain their strength.

Education Without Interruption: On-site classrooms and teachers so that learning never has to stop.

A Community of Support: Emotional counselling, recreational activities, and a community of families who understand the journey, ensuring no one feels alone.

Make Your Gift Go Even Further

Company Matching: Does your employer match donations? Your personal pledge could be as little as £500 to reach the £1,000 goal.

Gift Aid: If you are a UK taxpayer, your donation can be increased by 25% at no extra cost to you. Your £1,000 pledge becomes £1,250 for St. Jude's!

Will you be one of the 100 hearts that will keep a St. Jude Centre running for a full year? Your pledge is more than a donation; it's a promise of hope, safety, and the chance for a child to win their fight against cancer.
