Young Lives vs Cancer

Young Lives vs Cancer

Internal and external alterations with a complete refurbishment and high end fit out of a four-story detached Victorian period property. The Home from Home in Manchester will have nine bedrooms and multiple communal spaces, as well as laundry and kitchen facilities, and will be located just a short distance away from The Christie for families of young people receiving their cancer treatment at the hospital.

 

The project has been funded by Morrisons Supermarket and money raised by 12-year-old Jack Thompson. Having raised over £100,000 for young cancer patients, just like him. Jack was diagnosed with a brain tumour when he was just a baby, which has left him registered blind. Jack’s fundraising for young cancer patients has taken part in Morrisons stores and naming the Manchester Home from Home ‘Jack’s House’ is a way to commend his fantastic fundraising achievement.
