Testimonials.

  • I cannot express how happy this made [child’s name] this week. After his surgery to remove his brain tumour he has had ongoing complications and was really feeling a bit down and just wanting to go home. This has given him something positive to focus on as [child’s name] has an absolute love of lego! He particularly likes the technic and star wars ones. Thank you for brightening what was a very hard week.

  • Thank you for all your wonderful support of our oncology families. The Lego kits really bring a smile to their faces and make admissions a little easier 😊
