Gillian Fabb Memorial Fund
(UK, 276008) Browse events
YTD Raised: £315.00The Gillian Fabb Memorial Fund was set up following Gillan's death from liver cancer at the age of 8years. It aims to provide money for research into improved methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cancer in children and has raised nearly £200 000. Money is raised in many ways with family and friends, especially Gillian's three sisters, playing a major role. Initially, all money went to The Institute of Child Health, attached to Great Ormond Street Hospital. Many pieces of equipment were purchased and important research programmes were financed. In 1995, the particular laboratory we had been supporting was closed but we became aware of a similar need for funds at The Dept. of Paediatric Oncology at The Royal Marsden Cancer Hospital. The Trustees visited the Unit in 1996, were impressed by the work being carried out and pledged our ongoing support for this research. We work hard to raise funds and are gratified to see how much progress has been made over the past 20 years. The labs have excellent links with other depts. at the Institute of Cancer Research and are working with them to develop new, more effective drugs, targeted specifically for childhood cancers, with far fewer side-effects than existing treatments. Apart from accidents, cancer, including leukaemia, is still the greatest killer of children today in the UK so we must not become complacent as we see improved recovery figures-with improved resources for research into diagnosis, treatment and prevention, the situation could improve still further. Every penny donated to the Fund goes to research-nothing is ever taken out for administration purposes.

HOPE not hate Charitable Trust
(UK, 1013880) Browse events
YTD Raised: £310.00HOPE not hate exists to provide a positive antidote to the politics of hate. We combine first class research with community organising and grassroots actions to defeat hate groups and to build community resilience against extremism. Hate is often the consequence of a loss of hope and an articulation of despair, but given an alternative, especially one that understands and addresses their anger, most people will choose HOPE over hate. Our job is to expose and undermine groups that preach hate, intolerance and division whilst uniting communities around what they have in common. We aim to take a part in building a society that celebrates rather than scapegoats our differences.
