THE RAFFINGERS FOUNDATION.

THE RAFFINGERS FOUNDATION

Raffingers Foundation was formed in 2016, in memory of Jason Kew, a dear husband and friend, who sadly lost his life to pancreatic cancer.

The foundation supports Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund, and has also supported Ovarian Cancer Action since it’s formation in 2016. This year we are pleased to announce that in addition to supporting the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund, we will now be supporting the Alzheimers Society.

With an estimated 2.5 million people in the UK affected by cancer, and more than 520,000 people in the UK that have been diagnosed with dementia caused by Alzheimer’s disease, our intention is to raise as much money as possible through a variety of fundraisers and events in order to help fight these heart-breaking illnesses. 

The foundation is run by volunteers, which means every single penny raised is distributed in one of two ways:

1. Directly to research projects conducted by Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund and The Alzheimer's Society.

2. Directly to families affected by these diseases experiencing financial difficulties. This money is used to help with costs, such as private counselling for any family members, training, equipment or healthcare.

AMOUNT RAISED TO DATE:
£47,600



Raffingers Foundation Fund

Whether you have been affected directly by one of these illnesses or are a family member, we can provide funding of up to £500. These funds are given to help families that are experiencing financial difficulties and can be used to help with costs, such as private counselling for any family members, training, and equipment.

    Alzheimer’s Society is the UK’s leading dementia charity. They campaign for change, fund research to find a cure and support people living with dementia today.
