About

Bringing hope and reducing unnecessary pain and suffering of seriously and terminally ill children in hospital.

On the 22nd January 2014 my priorities changed. My son died. He was 9 years old. Cancer took him but while in hospital fighting some unbelievable symptoms and side effects he had the bravery and compassion to want to help the other kids through their own hell.

Since he began his charity I have been so inspired by what he did and have kept it going and we are now a registered charity. I work full time at the charity now and it is a bitter-sweet pill to find your calling in life through tragedy.

We help children in the UK who are fighting life limiting, life threatening and terminal conditions - mainly when they are in hospital.
We provide pain reducing equipment, improve the quality of the food on the wards, air conditioning units and fans, sofa beds, TVs, free Wi-Fi and Netflix, toys, games and anything that will help put a smile on their face and make the day that much more bearable.

    Bringing hope and reducing unnecessary pain and suffering of seriously and terminally ill children in hospital.

    Samuel's Charity was started by my nine year old son, Samuel, when he was fighting a very rare cancer. He was diagnosed in October 2013 and began his charity to help the other children on his ward going through similar ordeals.
    Samuel died five months later. He never saw the how much his charity has now achieved, helping over 13,000 children a year by supplying pain…

    Bringing hope and reducing unnecessary pain and suffering of seriously and terminally ill children in hospital.

    Samuel's Charity was started by my nine year old son, Samuel, when he was fighting a very rare cancer. He was diagnosed in October 2013 and began his charity to help the other children on his ward going through similar ordeals.
    Samuel died five months later. He never saw the how much his charity has now achieved, helping over 13,000 children a year by supplying pain reducing equipment, ward re-decoration and improvement, helping to improve the food quality across children's wards at one major hospital in London and many, many smaller but no less important items that help put a smile on a child fighting life limiting, life threatening and terminal conditions.

    After many years of working in Marketing, both online and offline, as well as creating websites I have a good overview to pull all the strings of a comprehensive marketing plan together and only use the most profitable and affordable strategies for the individual organisation.

    I run a charity and this has given me a very clear insight in to the issues and challenges small and not-for -profit organisations face and how to get the best from limited marketing spend.
