Toomebridge company partners with Cancer Fund for Children for Christmas charity appeal

Cancer treatment is frightening, challenging, and isolating and can devastate families emotionally, physically, and financially. For a diagnosed child, months of gruelling treatment and its side effects can impact their mental health, education and their friendships. 

Cancer Fund for Children understand the devastating impact a cancer diagnosis and its treatment have on the whole family, and that beyond the essential medical care, there is a family life that needs to be rebuilt. Their aim is to empower, connect and strengthen families, so they feel equipped to deal with whatever cancer throws at them.

Uform have selected Cancer Fund for Children as a strategic charity partner to help raise funds for the running of their therapeutic short break centre, Daisy Lodge in Newcastle, Northern Ireland and their upcoming new development in County Mayo, in the Republic of Ireland. These purpose built facilities provides families impacted by cancer with a safe space where they can focus on spending time together, away from the world of cancer.

Please visit Uform's Just Giving Page to donate and help this worthwhile cause.

Long term, Toomebridge-based Uform will be working closely with Cancer Fund for Children to explore further fundraising avenues and how the company can utilise hands on and tactical initiatives to help out - not just financially.

Elaine Bullock, Partnership & Philanthropy Executive, Cancer Fund for Children comments: “We're so pleased to be partnering with Uform this Christmas. Up to 40 children and young people (aged 0-24) could be diagnosed with cancer this festive season, and thanks to the generosity of our corporate partners we can be there for these families when they need us most. Christmas is usually a time for joy, but for families experiencing cancer, even being together can be a challenge. We are so grateful to Uform for helping us continue to ensure no child faces cancer alone."

Lex Lambrou, Commercial Marketing Director for Uform adds: “The swift and impactful change that Cancer Fund for Children provides, on the day-to-day lives of children and their families, speaks volumes to their dedication, organisation and care. We're pleased to be able to support them this Christmas and beyond."
