- Each year in the UK, approximately 55,000 women and 350 men are diagnosed with breast cancer, making it the most common form of cancer amongst women in the UK.
- We are so proud to be supporting their mission to provide free, thoughtfully curated Little Lifts Gift Boxes to every breast cancer patient in the UK who receives chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment.
- Founded by Oa Hackett, the charity provides support and comfort by producing boxes full of specially selected items to help alleviate some of the side effects that can be experienced.
- We support them through funding boxes to their 9 partnership hospitals across Suffolk, Essex, and Norfolk, and with their Kindness Fund that supports those who live throughout the UK face gruelling treatment at what can be a very lonely and frightening time.
- Littlelifts boxes are distributed free of charge to patients by their medical team through Littlelifts hospital partnerships.
- To date, the charity has provided over 3,000 boxes to women and men.

“As I listened to the list of side-effects I wasn’t sure I had the strength to deal with what was to come. My world had tilted on its axis and I felt scared. Until you’ve been in a deep dark hole you don’t realise you need some help, the Little Lifts Box made me feel that it was going to be possible. It is beautifully packed with quality items given at exactly the right time. It made me feel appreciated because someone knows what you are going through.” Jill
