At The Lewis Foundation we source, package and hand deliver free gift packs to all adult cancer patients in hospital in the Midlands and the community weekly items they might find difficult to buy themselves or simply cannot afford.

Story

The average cost of our gift is £3.60. Donating "one gift" will help to make a difference to someone who is in hospital going through cancer treatment. It is a really simple way to make a huge difference to others. 

 Here is an example of the difference your support can make: 

“I am nearly 86 years old and I am suffering with inoperable pancreatic cancer. Last year I was in the Talbot Butler Ward when I received one of your gift parcels. It brought tears to my eyes to think that someone apart from my family cared.  When I was in the emergency department this year, I was given an isolation pack. Filled with the most useful thing and greatly received. It really does lift your spirits. Thank you once again for bringing a ray of sunshine to those that are suffering.”
