Supported Charity

We are delighted to be supporting Oscar's Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity at our Christmas Fair in Yorkshire this year.

OSCAR’s Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity exists to support and care for children facing brain tumours and their families, to raise awareness of children’s brain tumours and to fund new research to drive down diagnosis time, increase survival rate and improve children’s quality of life during and after treatment.

It was set up in memory of nine-year-old Oscar Hughes from York, but exists to serve any child, anywhere in the country, having to deal with life with a brain tumour.
