Hugs Children’s Cancer Charity
The Charity
Hugs Children’s Cancer Charity (formerly Hugs From Henry) was set up by an individual family who wanted to give something back. They wanted to say thanks and show gratitude after the life of their son Henry was saved.
Set up back in 2015, the charity gives hope, help and support to families whose children are dealing with cancer and the work we do these days provides invaluable physical and emotional support to those that need it most.
Hugs is not a large corporate style charitable organisation. It’s local, it’s run by a dedicated team of individuals and most importantly, it’s still managed and operated by the family that set it up in the first place.
This family understands what it’s like and they can emphasize on every level. Not only did they go through it, but thankfully they came out the other side. Hugs Children’s Cancer Charity is a wonderfully positive result of that incredibly difficult journey.
That journey took them through diagnosis, treatment and recovery. It put enormous pressure on the family with constant spells away, 120 from home in Bristol but throughout it they remained as positive as they possibly could.
It’s that positivity that shines through with Hugs today. It’s what drives the charity and the people behind it as they look to ‘be there’ for other families that are forced to embark on one of the hardest journeys a family could ever make.
Above anything else, Hugs Children’s Cancer Charity understand the many complex issues that surround the rollercoaster ride that is cancer, how it impacts the individual themselves and of course the wider family around them.
Hugs is there to offer practical and emotional support to make sure that families feel less ‘alone’ on their journey through children’s cancer.
We completely understand that money can be tight for some right now, but please consider a small donation to Hugs via our JustGiving (insert link) page. Ask yourself a question, how would my family cope in this incredibly difficult position and would it appreciate this unique level of support that Hugs are able to offer? Unfortunately, that requires additional funding and the more we get, the more families we can help.
