CHARITABLE TRUSTS & FOUNDATIONS
Rare Childhood Brain Tumour Support and Research
Charitable Trusts and Foundations
- a vital contribution to our work
Joss Searchlight are so grateful for the generous support that we receive via charitable trusts and foundations.
In addition to our need for core funding we rely heavily on grants and donations to fund vital brain tumour research, care and financing our support work.
Our key work includes:
- Making grants available to families facing financial difficulties due to the rising cost of energy whilst caring for a child with cancer.
- Educational Support Media including a new range of films to help children understand their cancer and treatment from a child's perspective
- Support Workers to visit families, helping them both emotionally and practically when the going gets tough
- Working with large cancer organisations to direct funding towards vital brain tumour research
Our grateful thanks goes to every one of the trusts who have given grants and donations towards our vital work.
We appreciate that without their support our ongoing vision to improve available treatments and to ensure families in the UK struggling with devastating brain cancers have the support that they need, would be even more challenging.
We need to get the brain tumour cure rate up now
AMBITIOUS AIMS
Since its inception, Joss Searchlight has always supported families dealing with a child’s cancer diagnosis. We have been a friendly listening ear, giving emotional support to stressed and scared parents, given practical support to families caring for a child at home – whether that be home alterations or supplying wheelchairs and assisted living equipment.
We have run Art therapy projects, supplied children in hospital with entertainment consoles and computers allowing them to keep up with their school work and we have funded end of life treats.
From 2022 we will be concentrating significantly more funding on three core areas
Over 400 children get a brain tumour each year in the U.K.
Working with trusts
Joss Searchlight are totally reliant on donations to carry out our work. We’re excited and enthusiastic to work closely with other large research organisations, Charitable Trusts and Foundations to ensure that our joint charitable aims are at the forefront of everything we do.
We look forward to working with you to help find a cure for life-threatening brain tumours and help support families on their child’s cancer journey. You will be kept fully informed of what we are doing, how we are using your grant and receive a progress report.
