Something To Look Forward To

• Cancer
• Chronic Conditions

The aim of the charity

To promote the well-being, relieve the stress and aid the recuperation of those who are experiencing the effects of cancer and its treatment, together with their families. In particular by the provision of positive individual and/or family experiences.

Our objective

To provide a comprehensive website where people with cancer and their families can access a variety of free ‘gifts’ donated by companies and individuals.

These include free breaks in holiday cottages; restaurant meals; a day at the races; hotel stays; theatre tickets; beauty treatments; tickets for attractions… the list is endless.

Am I eligible to apply for a gift?

You are eligible to apply for a ‘gift’ if you are currently receiving treatment for cancer OR are in the first year following the completion of your treatment (This must include either surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy).

Applicants with a secondary or terminal diagnosis can continue to apply for gifts.

You may be signposted to our service from another agency or professional. You may have heard about us through social media, the internet or through a friend. Either way, you are eligible to apply!

‘Main Gifts’ tend to be larger, one off experiences with a high value including holidays. You are eligible to receive up to 1 Main Gift’ per year however an application does not always guarantee you will be allocated the gift. These can be found and applied for on our ‘Main Gifts’ page.

‘Additional Gifts’ tend to be smaller, regular or lower value gifts including restaurant meals or special family days. You are eligible to receive up to 2 ‘Additional Gifts’ per year however an application does not always guarantee you will be allocated the gift. ‘Additional Gifts’ can be found on our ‘Additional Gifts’ page.

Sometimes we are donated last minute gifts or bulk experiences including event tickets. You are eligible to receive unlimited ‘Extra Gifts’ per year however an application does not guarantee you will be allocated the gift. ‘Extra Gifts’ can be found on our ‘Extra Gifts’ Page.

How do I apply for a gift?

You must create an account with us before applying for a gift. Please use the ‘log in’ tab in the top right-hand corner of the page. You can simply apply by clicking on the ‘apply for this gift’ button on the gift of your choice. You are required to upload formal photo ID (not a selfie or photo) and a letter confirming your diagnosis.

Why was my gift application rejected?

Unfortunately you may not be successful for every application and this could be for any of the following reasons:

• We have had a high number of applications for this gift.
• You have not submitted the correct documentation (please see guidance on the website)
• You do not fall within our current timescale criteria i.e 1 year post last treatment.
• You have already been allocated one main gift and two additional gifts.

We would encourage you to apply for another gift, just make sure you are eligible and that you provide all the necessary evidence
