The Henry Allen Trust is a registered charity based in Milton Keynes who support children, teens, young adults and their families battling childhood cancer throughout the UK and have been operating since 2014.

The Trust was started in memory of Henry Allen who lost his battle to Stage 4, MYCN Amplified High Risk, Neuroblastoma in 2013 to create ‘magical smiles’ and bring ‘happiness’ to children and their families battling childhood cancer. Everyone involved within The Trust works tirelessly to ensure no family feels alone during their cancer journey.

The Henry Allen Trust provides the following services:

• Treats, wishes and financial grants. This support helps families experiencing financial hardship due to cancer, to pay their utility bills, buy essential food items, treat themselves or contribute towards a family break. Some examples of the treats we have granted include purchasing a PlayStation 5, a summer house and paid for a 12-month annual pass for the national trust.
• Support to hospitals across the country via arts, crafts and care packages. The trust has also funded training for 4 oncology nurses as there was a need for oncology nurses to be trained in administering Hickman lines and there was a lack of funding in the NHS.
• Access to a well-being therapist and a pet therapy dog who offer ongoing support to children with cancer and their families.
• Monthly activity through a support group. Every month the children and families we support are invited to join Team Henry for a fun activity where they can come together and share experiences with other families and enjoy some quality time together.

The Trust is currently supporting 200 families and 10 hospitals across the UK.
