Events

Have you ever fancied taking on a personal challenge, perhaps a skydive or abseil? Maybe a group of friends are looking to tackle a walk, run or event together. Why not host a bake sale, a virtual quiz or disco! Whatever it is you’d like to do, we’d love you to fundraise for Cancer Card.

Comfort Box Crowdfunder

We are looking to raise funds for our Comfort Box and Children's Comfort Box initiatives.

Our comfort boxes are filled with practical and comforting items designed to support cancer patients during their treatment. With out adult comfort box in high demand and the introduction of our Children's Comfort Box from 2025, we would like to be able to provide an additional free 100 boxes to cancer patients in 2025. 

Any donation large or small would be greatly appreciated in helping us achieve our goal. For example, a donation of just £12 would enable us to donate a digital in ear thermometer to a cancer patient. A donation of £20 would allow us to provide a child with cancer accessible pyjamas for their hospital stay during treatment.
