Our family was devastated by the news that our son had Leukaemia and it was this amazing charity that cheered him up. It has a very special place in our heart following Ben's death. Its a small charity where all the money raised and donated goes to the child and only the child. Life is forever changed and this charity has helped us as a family to cope. Bens wish to go to the beach was immediately met by the Children's Leukaemia Society by providing us with a caravan holiday in Tenby, they understood the importance of being together as a family and made it possible. When I said that Ben didn't need the gift I was told "every child irrespective of family background gets a gift, so Ben will get a gift". That is what was so special .

"I am the mum of a boy who had Leukaemia twice and survived. A small charity called Children's Leukaemia Society based in Cardiff supported our family at the most difficult of times. Now due to COVID-19 this tiny charity manned by a handful of volunteers is in a very precarious position. Through fundraising the charity can offer free holidays to families of children with any childhood cancer living in Wales in one of their caravans. We have painstakingly fundraised for these caravans for many, many years, but now as we plan to hold our 1st AGM via zoom, our main topic is the need to sell one of our vans because we cannot afford the ground rent or the upkeep of the van due to the lack of funds raised. If you are a business or company or a personal benefactor looking for a charity to support please will you consider us. Thank you. Alyson Chichester, Volunteer."
