Whether you are interested in a fun family day out with live music (headlined by the awesome Chandeliers), BBQ and games or you really want to get stuck in raising funds through a sponsored Full or Half head shave or 6" hair donation (to the Little Princess Trust) or you fancy a little colour with hair extension fitting and Temporary tattoos; you will find it all at the EHSalon on Sunday 22nd of September.
Raising funds for the Wolo foundation - registered charity no. 1188412 - who support families throughout Sussex effected by cancer.
What is Wolo? What is our charitable objective and purpose?
Wolo Foundation helps families living in Sussex through their cancer journeys. They support them by offering practical help and support to make their day-to-day lives easier. They work with local businesses and communities to offer families a wealth of services to support them through their diagnosis, treatment and beyond.
Wolo’s charitable objective and purpose
‘The relief of those in need, by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage of families* living in Sussex that are affected by cancer; through the provision of goods/services which they could not otherwise afford through lack of means, or by providing or paying for items, services or facilities through the provision of goods or services.
Definition of ‘families’ is those with a child or children aged under 16 years at the time of diagnosis.’
After experiencing a cancer journey of our own, we highlighted a number of problems we incurred along the way that we felt Wolo could help address. These included:
• Lack of support for those diagnosed
• Lack of support for the families of those diagnosed
• Lack of practical help
• Lack of mental health support
• Isolation
• The detrimental financial impact of a cancer diagnosis
• Lack of support once active treatment is completed - people struggling to ‘move on’.
• The stigma associated with cancer
• Having a negative outlook on life
We have used this information along with our ethos, to create our core outcomes. They are instrumental to everything we do.
