What a fantastic afternoon we had at our Ladies Lunch last Friday! 💜

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the event such a success. It was wonderful to come together, enjoy great company, and celebrate the incredible support of our community.

We would like to extend a special thank you to our event sponsor, Brown & Brown , for their generous support, and to Sarah Heron, our inspirational guest speaker, for sharing her story and leaving us all feeling motivated and uplifted.

Thanks to the generosity of everyone who attended, we are delighted to announce that we raised an incredible £5,605! This total includes match funding from Lloyds and Barclays, whose support helped boost the proceeds from our raffle on the day.

Thank you to everyone who contributed, donated, and supported the event. Your generosity will make a real difference, and we can't wait to do it all again next year!

A huge thank you to everyone who supports our mission of bringing comfort and normality to families facing cancer. 💛

Meet 3-year-old Sammy, who received his Chemo Duck in April, just as his family began navigating a new cancer diagnosis. His duck, now "Evie the Firefighter Duck," 🦆🚒 helps him feel comforted and familiar during treatments. We also extended this support to his two cousins, knowing that cancer affects the whole family.

Sammy’s parents shared, "Receiving the duck made those first hospital days a little easier," and that means the world to us. Moments like this remind us why Give a Duck exists.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we're pausing to reflect on the emotional journey faced by children and families during cancer treatment. It’s more than just physical health; it can bring fear, anxiety, loneliness, and uncertainty for the whole family.

At Give A Duck, we believe that comfort, play, and emotional support are just as important as medical care. Our Chemo Ducks help children feel less scared and more in control through play therapy, offering companionship during some of the hardest moments. 🦆

Because every child deserves support for their mental wellbeing as well as their physical health.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone helping us bring comfort, smiles, and hope to families across the UK. Together, we’re making a difficult journey a little less scary. 💛
