About this opportunity
The Sophie's Sparkle Fund was established by Alex and Kirsty Taylor in 2021 as a legacy for their daughter, Sophie. This unique fund aims to bring joy and smiles to children battling cancer by providing funding for special experiences or items that will bring happiness during a difficult time. The fund offers up to £250 for experiences or something that will bring joy to children under 18 (or under 25 with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) who live in Norfolk and are battling cancer. Applications are processed quickly, with responses typically within 2 weeks, allowing families to plan special moments at times that best suit them. Examples of eligible expenses include mobile gaming arcades, themed cakes, party packages, hand and foot casting, photography sessions, and other joy-bringing experiences. The fund requires a simple application form and a letter from a medical professional such as a formal diagnosis letter.
