The Emily Ash Trust
Whilst excellent medical assistance is provided through the care network, it was clear that this terrible disease had far wider effects on the sufferer and the family supporting those who are sick. Inspired by Emily who had been suffering from leukaemia for some years, it was decided to help raise funds to improve the quality of life for these children and their families.
We are a small charity with a big heart with our primary aim being to improve the lives of children and young people suffering with cancer. We are able to do this thanks to the fundraising and donations made by our fantastic supporters who, like us, want to help families facing cancer. All staff work on a voluntary basis with all money raised going to support these families.
We provide help and resources with the aim of improving the quality of life of children and young adults suffering with cancer and their families. The Trust focuses its help in various ways, including:
- Laptops & walkie-talkies - enabling communication during treatment
- Two free holiday homes in Battle, near Hastings
- Pamper Days at Topshop - London
- Pamper Days at The Royal Marsden
- Sibling days

The Trust is committed to helping families in times of great need, during the treatment of cancer, the recovery and those terrible times of sadness and loss. This video shows the Riley family who found this support during the most difficult time of their lives.
