Balloons of HOPE


 
At our Autumn Fayre this year we wanted to draw attention to, and raise money for, a very special charity that makes a significant difference to the lives of teenagers who suffer from cancer.

To do so we would like to ask you to buy a ‘Balloon of HOPE’ for a minimum donation of £2.

Each of our balloons will carry a special message asking the finders to support the teenage cancer trust, as well as details on how to notify us of finding the balloon. We are looking to map out where each of the balloons were discovered and create a display of ‘HOPE’ linked to this fundraising initiative.

A few pieces of information about the charity

About us

Around seven young people aged between 13 and 24 are diagnosed with cancer every day in the UK. They need expert treatment and support from the moment they hear the word ‘cancer.’ We’re the only charity dedicated to making this happen.

What we do

We create world-class cancer services for young people in the UK, providing life-changing care and support so young people don’t have to face cancer alone.

HELP US MAKE A DIFFERENCE TOGETHER BY:

·         Sending your donation into school in an envelope marked – Balloons for HOPE, with your child/children’s name clearly marked on if your child attends school, or your name and address if they don’t.

·         Making a donation on the day at the Autumn Fayre

Many thanks for your support
