Charities

The Chris Lucas Trust aims to increase understanding of the difficulties faced by those families suffering through the effects of this particular type of cancer and related situations and problems, and to express the views of its sufferers to relevant agencies to help improve their day to day lives. 

The charity provides funding to contribute to the employment of scientific researchers to carry out research into rhabdomyosarcoma and the publication of the results of such research.

We are a charity in Abingdon, solely set up to support the people of the Town of Abingdon. We maintain 31 almshouses for residents over the age of 50, we provide grants to local organisations and individuals, all for the relief of need. This can be financial or social need.

Church Homeless Trust is a small charity that receives no government funding and is entirely reliant on donations. We help homeless people of all ages, faiths, and nationalities to rebuild their lives with support grants that meet their individual needs. The more tools they are given to be independent, the less chance they have of returning to homelessness. We fund the training, items, activities, counselling and skills people need to rediscover their sense of purpose and feel part of society again. The grants are small, usually between £50 and £300, but to people who have nothing they mean a second chance. They change lives.
