Rayaan Brown Foundation

No parent ever wants to hear the words ‘your child has cancer’. Cancer is upsetting at any age, especially when a child is affected.

It is an overwhelming and unpredictable journey. We understand the importance of emotional well-being for both the parents and the child undergoing treatment to help them cope.

Our vision is to help reduce the stress, anxiety and worry that comes with having a child with cancer and offer something uplifting and positive. We want to be able to put in place well-being projects, gifting initiatives and services nationwide in all the major UK children’s cancer wards and have our charity name recognised by families.

We have spent a prolonged time in hospital and experienced being in isolation with Rayaan for 6 weeks, so we know exactly what it is like for other parents.

We strongly believe our focus on gifting schemes, clever, innovative distractions and therapeutic toys offer comfort and support when it is most needed and for a little while, these families can forget about medical treatments and cancer.

We want to be able to help as many children with cancer and histiocytosis as possible to make them feel better.
