When I founded Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund in 1992, working out of the church office of West Ham Parish Church, I could never have imagined that 32 years later we would have raised nearly £20 million to support children with cancer and their families. From my own heartache, and that of my children, we can proudly say that my late wife Pamela their mother, would be extremely proud of the incredible work we have accomplished over the past three decades.

It hasn’t always been easy, and this year has been particularly challenging for individuals and businesses alike. With so much uncertainty caused by ongoing wars, economic recessions, and changes in government, there were moments when we worried about the impact on our fundraising efforts and the services we provide to our families. However, the incredible support we have received throughout the year has enabled us to continue all our services and extend help to even more families.

Our team continues to work tirelessly to support families day and night, while also driving our fundraising efforts. Each one of them is as passionate and committed to helping these families as I am, and I am deeply proud of their dedication.

I want to personally thank all our supporters, donors, and volunteers. From grant-giving trusts, individuals, and businesses to community groups, schools, and colleagues – without your generosity, we would not be able to help these incredible children and their families during the most traumatic times of their lives.

We are forever grateful for your support and look forward to working with you again in 2025.
