Giddos Gift supports teenagers and young people with a cancer diagnosis by giving gifts, wishes and short caravan breaks to bring a smile as they go through horrendous treatments.
This donation will enable us to provide support to more young people as needed. We have on average 4 applications per week for gifts and wishes, each a bespoke gift that will make the young person smile. This may be clothes vouchers, meals out, bedroom makeover, experiences such as festival tickets. Each gift, wish costs between £200-£400.
Giddos Gift is a fitting legacy to my son Jordan who was taken from us by Childhood Cancer aged 18. He always thought about others before himself and loved to give gifts. The charity provides gifts, wishes and short breaks away in our charity caravan to young people and their families as they navigate a cancer diagnosis. We provide something special to look forward to at the worst time in their lives, with many social workers and families telling us our work is invaluable. This grant will enable us to help bring smiles to the faces of so many more young people.
