What We Do
The Foundation will provide Craft boxes (containing suitable craft materials for aged 3-9 years) to paediatric brain tumour and cancer patients.
If a child is aged 10 years or over they can look forward to receiving a Smyth’s toy store voucher.
Who The Foundation Will Support
The Foundation will support children who have been diagnosed with a DIPG brain tumour, however we may also accept referrals from healthcare professionals for children with other high grade brain tumours or cancers.
Of note, all referrals for foundation support must be received from a Healthcare Professional at the hospital the child is being treated. Please refer to referral process for further information.
How Will The Foundation Deliver the Craft
Boxes?
Dream Boxes
All craft boxes will be dispatched to the child’s home address or hospital ward stated on the referral form using a courier (such as Evri or Parcel-force). They will be sent out as soon as practicable after the referral has been received and will require a signature upon delivery.
Smyths Voucher
The Smyths Voucher will be sent electronically to the email address given by the child’s parent/guardian upon referral. The electronic voucher can be spent in store or online.
No cash alternative is available to the voucher.
Educational Resources
If a child referred into The Foundation is not attending a school setting, we will send out age suitable key stage workbooks/materials alongside their dream box, ensuring all children can still enjoy being educationally stimulated throughout their brain tumour or cancer journey in the comfort of their own home.
Please note at this time, the foundation will only accept referrals for paediatric brain tumour or cancer patients within England and Wales.
