Dear Toby Trust

Each year we have decided to give away a percentage of our profits to charity. We are also not averse to doing pro-bono work for charity or organisations with an ethical approach (get in touch if you think we can help)

This year we are donating to the Dear Toby Trust…

“The Dear Toby Trust was established in 2017, in memory of Toby Hambrook-Skinner who passed away at Great Ormond Street Hospital after an epic battle with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. He was just seven months old. Toby was diagnosed at eight weeks and began an aggressive treatment plan. Toby’s family and friends have set up this charity to find new ways to treat rare cancers and reduce the suffering of children enduring cancer treatment. Together we have raised more than £120,000 so far.

We believe there is a way to beat childhood cancer using less aggressive methods. The medical professionals need money to do this, money they don’t have.

Despite everything he faced Toby was a happy boy who made the most of every day and made those around him happier for knowing him. Now he is gone his legacy lives on – a more hopeful future for children with cancer.

The Dear Toby Trust raises money to support paediatric (childhood) cancer care and research in the UK. We work particularly closely with Great Ormond Street Hospital. Our aim is to help specialist centres find new and groundbreaking treatments for children living with cancer.

The trust has no administrative costs, meaning that every penny of your money is channelled directly into projects. Since 2017, The Dear Toby Trust has raised over £100,000 and this money is already being used to fund new research into CAR T cell therapy for AML – a treatment that was so desperately needed but wasn’t available for Toby”

Toby was a friend of ours. Always will be. He keeps moving mountains (he made Jonny run a marathon!)

You can find out more on the trusts website where you can also make donation to help Toby’s parents and the trust find a kinder way to treat childhood cancer.

Thanks for reading.
