2026/27 Charity – Chemogiftbags
Registered Charity Number: 1168095
Charity Coordinator: Sam Whalley
Chemogiftbags was set up by my neighbour Lynne, after she underwent radiotherapy for breast cancer, and noticed that there were some comforts that were lacking.
Now those receiving treatment for breast cancer in the Thames Valley can apply for a chemogiftbag to make their journey a little less unpleasant.
A current chemogiftbag costs around £116 to fill, and contains an organic nail polish kit, pill boxes, deodorant, hand sanitiser, body wash, moisturiser, lip balm, toothpaste, a soft bristle toothbrush, a neck scarf, a headwrap, socks, notebooks & pens, a water bottle, tissues, a wash cloth, puzzle books & treats, a heart shaped cushion and a lap blanket.
Throughout the year I will be fundraising for Chemogiftbags by organising events and drawing attention to donation opportunities.
You can help by:
- Attending events
- Donating raffle prizes
- Buying raffle tickets
- Donating and buying food for our refreshments stands
- Taking part in any sweepstakes that come about
- Raising money through your own running events
- Passing me any toys or games that would otherwise be going to the charity shop
- Asking your employer if they can contribute in any way
- Following Chemogiftbags on Facebook and Instagram to see what they are up to and help raise awareness
- Join the Chemogiftbags Craft Group on Facebook to see what they might need making
