Plan the Perfect Picnic for Children with Cancer UK

Life for children and young people with cancer and their families is no picnic, so why not come together to help those who can’t meet up at the moment. We need your support more than ever to give hope to children facing cancer. Raise over £12, in recognition of the 12 children and young people diagnosed with cancer in the UK every day, and receive one of our Children with Cancer UK wrist bands as a thank you for all your amazing fundraising efforts. Don’t forget, you don’t have to organise an elaborate spread, or if you can’t host your own physical picnic you can still support our cause by setting up a virtual picnic and donating the price of a picnic lunch.

What inspired this event?

Phoebe was diagnosed with Wilms Tumour, a type of kidney cancer, just before her second birthday. After the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak led to a lockdown, Phoebe was unable to hold a bake sale at school. Instead she organised a virtual tea party with a group of friends over Zoom. Together, Phoebe and her friends raised lots of money to help children with cancer. Our huge thanks to Phoebe and her friends for their creativity that has helped inspire this event.
