Fundraise
CHEMOtivation is looking to find people willing to co-ordinate fundraising in their local community. If you’re looking for ways to make a difference in your community we want to hear from you. Drop us an email using the link below to find out more.
Donate
In every ‘Hope in a Tote’ care package, there is £70 worth of products to help make Chemotherapy Treatment as comfortable as possible. Without the help of our generous donors, we would simply not be able to do what we do.
Volunteer
CHEMOtivation is looking to find volunteers to help with the logistics of putting together and distributing our ‘Hope in a Tote’ bags to support patients undergoing cancer treatment. If you’re looking to make a difference in your community and think you can help, please get in touch.
Space needed to store and pack bags
CHEMOtivation is also looking for space to store the contents of the tote bags and an area where volunteers can pack the bags, ideally as near to the Royal Devon NHS University Trust as possible.
The charity hopes to deliver 3,000 tote bags each year to match the number of people receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy through the Cherrybrook Cancer Centre at the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital.
Help us by making some hats for our bags.
