The John Holt Cancer Support Foundation

The John Holt Cancer Support Foundation provides information and a support service for anyone who has been affected by cancer in anyway.

Their Mission:

“To improve the quality of life and to give a sense of purpose to people affected by cancer, to ensure that people have choices, information, confidence, support and a sense of normality.”

24 Hour Information and Care line-

01925 242 880: The care line is available to any patient, carer, family or friend who has been affected by cancer and needs support.

The John Holt Foundation's Success Since Secret Millionaire:

  • Awarded Charity of the Year for Warrington Collegiate
  • Gardening project- The students and staff have worked very hard to create a beautiful, relaxing & calm outdoor environment. This outdoor space now allows the members and volunteers to do relaxation, art & crafts, gardening plus more
  • Launched a card making workshop where all proceeds from sales go towards the charity's activities

How the Secret Millionaire Money was used:

  • To put a down payment on rent for new premises in an ideal location as they were being forced out of their previous building due to change of ownership.
  • To buy equipment and materials for their new premises.

Ongoing Contact and Support from Pimlico:

  • Charlie has kept in touch and a team of tradesmen from Pimlico are going to ensure that their new building is fully operational by fitting a new kitchen, plumbing in the washing machine, installing the new cooker, fitting a new shower area and painting and decorating.
  • A fleet of Pimlico vans have been back and forth to Warrington delivering materials for their new building.
  • The John Holt Cancer Support Foundation was a very special guest at Pimlico’s Christmas party.

Support from Others:

Since the Millionaire show went out their profile has been raised and there are many individuals and businesses that have offered support:

  • Many more volunteers have come forward to help out in administration and therapy.
  • Many members of the local community have started fundraising for the foundation.
  • A local business has offered to install a new stair lift into their new building.
  • A cooker for their new kitchen has been donated.
  • John Holt received a grant of £22,500 from the Morgan Foundation, a local organisation that gives money to groups that address specific community needs. This money has enabled them to renovate and buy equipment for their new premises.
  • Local businesses offering donations to the cancer centre.

The John Holt Cancer Support Foundation is still renovating their new building but it will be fully operational and open soon.
