These can be the parents and well wishers of sick and disadvantaged children, seeking care as well as wanting to further essential research to control and prevent the spread of disease. We also work with several projects in Africa fostering that educational growth that is so vital for the continent’s future.
Essentially we are facilitators and enablers, providing those core services that make a charity work as well as being on tap for advice and support. A helping hand and a friendly voice, bringing assistance and guidance when it is most needed.
The Trust’s origins emanate from the 2Simple software company and the charitable activities of the director and staff. Initial targets were programmes in the continent of Africa and these have continued and expanded as shown elsewhere on this site.
In the past two years however the Trust has been best known for its campaign on behalf of children with neuroblastoma, a severe and usually fatal form of childhood cancer. The best children’s hospitals in the UK, including Great Ormond Street, are only able to offer palliative care which has meant that the best hope for even a partial or medium term cure lay in treatment at the Sloane-Kettering Memorial Hospital in New York.
Following the success of the first campaign for Jack Brown, the son of two serving Metropolitan Police officers which is still receiving enormous support from people everywhere and especially from the Met and other police forces, four other families have worked with us to raise funds as part of a general campaign by the Trust to help all children and families facing this life threatening challenge.
