The North Big Charity Van Wash

Members of Openreach across Lincolnshire have organised a Charity Van wash. Managers will wash Engineers Vans over the period of 4th 5th July to help support this amazing local Charity.

Every penny really does count for small local Charity's Like Sophies Journey.

About Sophie's Journey

Sophie’s Journey was set up in memory of our daughter, Sophie Robinson from Lincoln, who sadly passed away in January 2016, aged 12, after a two-year battle with medulloblastoma – an aggressive tumour in her brain.

Using our two dedicated caravans at Golden Sands Holiday Park in Mablethorpe, we provide free holidays to Lincolnshire children living with cancer and their families.

We run the charity to fulfill our promise to Sophie to make a positive difference to those going through a similar experience and give them the same opportunity we had to enjoy a holiday and create special memories together.

Our first caravan was opened in March 2017 and features a twin bedroom, double bedroom, plus an open plan living/kitchen area and family bathroom, while our second caravan is fully adapted for children who have extra mobility needs owing to their treatment.

We officially opened this in April 2018, after reaching our fundraising target earlier that year.

The charity also exists to continue Sophie’s efforts to provide comfort and support to children enduring cancer treatment via a dedicated page on Facebook. This was created after Sophie had undergone brain surgery and was due to begin treatment; she wanted to understand what to expect from it but couldn’t find any sources on the internet that answered her questions.
