Host a Gift Collection Drive
Why not host your own collection drive to gather the items we need for the gift packs for adult cancer patients in hospital? We can provide posters and leaflets showing the items we're looking for. Encourage your family, friends and workplace to host a donation drive and make a difference.
Donate Surplus Business Stock
Businesses: if you have brand-new slow-moving, excess, sample or end-of-line stock, let us take it off your hands and repurpose it for good. Stock can go into our gift packs, be used in our community cafés, or sold via our outlet store — nothing is wasted. Individuals: if you have brand-new, unwanted items to clear, we can put them to the same use.
Buy a Gift for a cancer patient
Purchase an item from our wish list for a cancer patient in hospital. Every product you buy goes straight into a gift pack to bring comfort and happiness to adult cancer patients in hospital.
Sponsor our Gift Packs
If you're a business or individual who'd like to fund the cost of gift packs and their contents, we'd love to hear from you. With options from funding a month's worth of gifts to a quarter, six months or a full year, partner with us to make a difference to the lives of adults diagnosed with cancer and their families.

Help us fill our gift packs
Support The Lewis Foundation by organising your own gift collection drive for items used in our hospital care packages. Many supporters host collections in workplaces, schools, community groups, or through personal events to help us gather the items we need most.
Every donated item becomes part of a gift pack delivered directly to adult cancer patients during treatment — bringing comfort, distraction, and a reminder that someone cares.
How it works
- Plan your collection drive - Organise a collection within your workplace, school, community group, or event.
- Collect suitable items - Use our recommended item list to gather products suitable for patient gift packs.
- Arrange delivery or drop-off - Contact our team to organise delivery, drop-off, or collection where possible.
Items often donated
- Toiletries and personal care products
- Warm socks and comfort items
- Books, puzzles, and activity packs
- Snacks and treats suitable for hospital patients
These small items make a big difference to patients spending long hours receiving treatment.

Businesses can support The Lewis Foundation by donating surplus or slow-moving stock. These products are used in our gift packages and help bring comfort to adults diagnosed with cancer.
Donating surplus items also helps reduce waste while supporting a meaningful cause.
What businesses can donate
- Slow-moving stock
- End-of-line or discontinued products
- End-of-season items
