About our cause
The Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust is a charity based in Worcestershire which provides support to families affected by childhood cancer. The Trust was set up in memory of 4-year-old Grace Kelly who passed away in 2014 from a rare form of childhood cancer.
Led by Dr Jennifer Kelly (Grace’s mother) having experienced first-hand the devastation and heartbreak childhood cancer can cause, she has made it her mission to help other families facing childhood cancer. The Trust is led by Jennifer making the Trust truly unique in understanding the needs of the families that we support.
Families are supported by medical teams in hospitals right from the very beginning of their journey but more often than not that is where the support ends. Families are very much missing the emotional and practical support that they very much need and deserve; this is where the Trust is there to support and bridge that gap.
Sadly, childhood cancer it is not quite as rare as many of us may think - cancer is still the number one medical cause of death of children in the UK. When a child is diagnosed with cancer, their whole family’s world is turned upside down. Families are suddenly faced with an uncertain future, overwhelming information, a very unwell child, complex medical decisions, increased costs, and a huge amount of uncertainty and worry.
Many families also tell us about the loneliness and isolation they can feel. Once the initial attention and support from family and friends fades away, there are often still months or often years of gruelling treatment ahead. For families who lose a child, they must find a way to navigate their way through life, knowing it will never be the same again.
How we help
We are a local charity with a national impact. Our local work focuses on supporting families across Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire through our Family Support service. Nationally, we raise awareness of signs and symptoms of childhood cancer amongst the public and medical professionals, produce free information booklets for families and hospitals across the UK and fund high-quality medical research.
The Trust receives no statutory funding so wholly relies on support from the community and fundraising, so every single penny raised through our lottery really does help.
