Last updated 28th May 2021
Two Norfolk-based cancer charities are working together to support patients.
The Norfolk & Norwich Hospital Charity's VOiCE campaign, which supports patients with gynaecological cancers, has purchased care boxes from breast cancer charity littlelifts.
It will be distributing them to patients at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and James Paget Hospital who are undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment for vulva, ovarian, cervix and endometrial cancers (VOiCE).
The boxes contain a range of items including fragrance free organic soap, herbal teas and body lotion.
Paula Canwell, Gynaecology Oncology Clinical Nurse Specialist, said:
"We’ve seen the difference the care boxes make to breast cancer patients and thought it was a great idea to fund boxes via the littlelifts online shop to support our gynaecology patients. Now our patients will receive the same littlelifts box, giving them a psychological boost during their difficult treatment regime."
Oa Hackett, Founder of littlelifts, added:
"We work hard to fundraise and are proud to support breast cancer patients at the NNUH and James Paget University Hospital via our littlelifts boxes. Our online shop was launched in response to enquiries of individuals wanting to purchase a box for someone receiving treatment for a different type of cancer.
"We know our littlelifts boxes make a huge difference to people undergoing breast cancer treatment so we are delighted that gynaecology patients can now benefit from a littlelifts box thanks to The VOiCE which has ordered boxes via our online shop."
