We are overjoyed to share the incredible success of our second Charity Clay Day at Rievaulx Abbey, where, with the help of Yorkshire's business community, we raised £88,797 for Leeds Children's Hospital.

The money will buy two photobiomodulation therapy units for the children's cancer ward. Photobiomodulation uses gentle light to prevent and treat mucositis, the painful mouth ulcers that are one of the most common and distressing side effects of chemotherapy. The results are simple to describe: fewer children in pain, fewer nights spent in hospital, and more strength to keep fighting.

We spend what we raise

Every pound raised at the Clay Day goes towards specialist medical equipment that is not available through standard NHS funding. We do this because every child deserves the best care possible, with no compromises. Thank you to everyone who took a team, sponsored a stand, donated an auction prize or simply dug deep on the day.

Make a difference

Every pound buys equipment. Nothing is wasted on the way.

We are a lean charity run by a small team and volunteer trustees. Donations go to the hospitals' own charities to buy equipment through NHS procurement, and we tell you exactly what your money bought.
