The story the new website tells and the reason it needed telling well.

£3.60 a gift pack
Their answer was simple: small gifts and thoughtful items that bring comfort, distraction and a reminder that someone cares.

2,500+ packs a month
Today the charity delivers more than 2,500 packs every month to adults having cancer treatment.

What happened
Since the new website went live, donations have gone up and more people know about the charity and the difference a £3.60 gift pack makes on a cancer ward.
The site now does the job the charity needs: telling its story, showing the impact and turning visitors into donors, fundraisers and volunteers.
