We're grateful to be able to share some fantastic news which will enable us to launch new initiatives and provide further support for people affected by cancer across Preston 🍊🧡

The Orange Foundation has secured funding from The National Lottery Community Fund, meaning we can deliver a project called Connected Conversations: Supporting People Affected by Cancer.

Developed in response to the growing recognition that the impact of cancer extends far beyond physical treatment, the project will provide free emotional wellbeing support to patients, survivors, carers and family members, helping them to navigate the emotional impact of a diagnosis.

Our founder, Michael Gregory, said: "This National Lottery funding will allow us to provide professional therapeutic support and create safe spaces where people can connect with others who truly understand what they're going through.

"By bringing people together in supportive community settings, we hope to reduce isolation, improve wellbeing and help people build lasting connections during what can be an incredibly difficult period in their lives and signpost people to other practical support available."

With the seasons changing towards summer, here’s an easy one to add to your seasonal to-do list… check your bits! ☀️

Knowing what’s normal for your body can help you spot early signs and take action. With bowel cancer, the earlier it’s detected, the more treatable it’s likely to be.

🍊 As Emma used to say: “Always check your bits and sh*ts!”

Take a moment to learn the possible symptoms of the disease by visiting Bowel Cancer UK’s link 👉 https://www.bowelcanceruk.org.uk/about-bowel-cancer/symptoms/

We’ve been contacted today by someone wishing to make a donation, and we've learned that JustGiving has closed the account without notifying us 😟

We had been in the process of upgrading the account to access additional features on the JustGiving platform, and we believe this may be linked to that change.

We're currently trying to get in touch with JustGiving to have the account reinstated as quickly as possible.

In the meantime, if you would like to make a donation, please get in touch with us via our website and we’ll be happy to provide an alternative way to donate.

We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused and hope this will be resolved very soon.

Thank you so much for your continued support 🙏🏼

🧡 We've donated a collection of wigs, headwear and accessories to our new friends over at The Tameside Wig and Scarf Room - a lovely volunteer service based in Stalybridge, supporting people who have hair loss after chemotherapy, and from medical conditions such as alopecia.

Hair loss impacts more than just a person's physical appearance: emotional wellbeing, confidence and identity are just a few areas of life that can be affected.

We're pleased to continue to support them in the future, with donations of specialist wig shampoos, products and brushes.
