How to get a Comfort Box

We have partnered with a number of NHS Trusts / Maggie's centres and are piloting free distribution of our Comfort Boxes to cancer patients.

Due to current funding limitations, our Comfort Box scheme is exclusively available to individuals living in Scotland and Northern Ireland only. If you are a cancer patient in treatment in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and wish to receive a free Comfort Box then you can apply for one here.

For those in other parts of the UK, we are working hard to secure additional funds to expand our reach. We appreciate your understanding and continued support during this time.

Please note that we are unable to accept applications from someone other than the intended recipient. If you would like to treat your loved one to a Cancer Card Comfort Box, you can purchase one via the Paypal link below.
