The Hannah Chamberlain Foundation Charity Aims:
To provide grants for young people aged between 17-25 who are receiving cancer treatment at Southampton General Hospital.
To raise awareness of cancer in young people.
To raise funds in fun and exciting ways just as Hannah would have wanted.
In 2012 after a couple of years of fundraising for the Bone Cancer Research Trust – still a charity very close to our hearts – we decided to take the plunge and set up our own focusing on people who would be going through a very similar experience to Hannah within our local area.
The Hannah Chamberlain Foundation is formed by 7 of Hannah’s closest friends & family members. Each one of us works a full-time job and volunteer our spare time to make everything we do as much of a success as possible.
Gill Chamberlain – Hannah’s Mum. The provider of the most wonderful monthly team meeting snacks & the charity’s treasurer. Gill manages all things financial and keeps our snack bowls filled up at all times.
Kayleigh Chamberlain – Hannah’s Sister. From a design background Kayleigh creates the most wonderful signs & artwork for us. She is also the Queen of balloons & will always be next to the helium canister on event days.
Jim Chamberlain – Hannah’s Dad. By day Jim works in the antiques business & always brings wonderful auction prizes to the table for any of our events.
Jane Feltham – Hannah’s Aunty. Jane is full of fantastic idea’s & is the most amazing pair of helping hands at any events we create. She’s wonderful at bringing us back on track when the idea’s get a little overly glittery.
Georgina Grozier – Hannah’s Best Friend.
Content expert by day Georgina co-manages our social media channels & as resident photoshop whizz brings the first drafts for all of our event designs ready for team THCF to make them perfect. She also manages everything on thcf.org.uk keeping the site up to date with all of our news & events.
Sophie Roden – Hannah’s Best Friend.
Sophie is always the team member who will remind us of why we do what we do & keeps the focus on the young people we help. She also co-manages all of our social media channels.
Claire Kirk – Hannah’s Best Friend.
Claire specialises in large point of sale designs within her day job and is always on hand to make sure all of our banners are looking wonderful. She’s also a fantastic note taker so minutes all of our meetings.
The Hannah Chamberlain Foundation raises money to provide grants for young people aged between 17-25 who are receiving cancer treatment at Southampton General Hospital.
The grants can only be applied for by professionals using the confidential forms supplied by the charity to the general hospital.
All of the information surrounding who our grants have been given too is strictly confidential however we are delighted to let you know that the money that has been generously donated has allowed us to give the grants which have been summarized below:
You can donate to us in person at any of our events. If you wish to donate via cheque or bank transfer please get in touch with a THCF trustee or drop us an email contact@thcf.org.uk and we’ll help as quickly as we can.
We were back at Curdridge Reading Rooms for our first in-person THCF event for quite some time! Thank you to everyone who came down to eat cake and drink tea with us – we raised an amazing £398.85 which will enable us to provide at least an entire grant!
We are absolutely delighted to be able to share this message & a couple of pictures from Lewis who received one of our grants last year. More information on the grants we have given can be found on our dedicated page here. Thanks again Lewis for allowing us to share your pictures & note. …
As we step into a brand new year we just wanted to take a quick moment to thank everyone for supporting us in 2017. For everyone who ran & cycled for us, partied with us on our 5th birthday or just those who came and ate cake with us. Thank you – you helped us …
