HOW BRADLEY’S FOUNDATION WILL HELP OTHERS
TRUST WILL SUPPORT POORLY YOUNGSTERS
The family of Bradley Lowery have outlined a sevenpoint plan for the charitable trust being set up in his name.
In a post on the ‘Bradley Lowery’s Fight Against Neuroblastoma’ Facebook page, the family confirmed they had submitted an application to set up The Bradley Lowery Foundation.
The charity will honour the memory of little Bradley, who tragically lost his battle to childhood cancer neuroblastoma aged just six earlier this month.
Lynn Murphy, Bradley’s fundraising co-coordinator, said the family want to help children under the age of 18 by raising funds for medical treatment or equipment and said it is even looking to provide a memory-making holiday home.
She wrote: “I just want to let people know what our aims are with the charity so that things are clear to eve- ryone who may need our help.
“The application for the Bradley Lowery Foundation was submitted on Wednesday, and yesterday all of the trustees received an email to say they had received it.
“When the foundation is set up, we will have a list of criteria, (every charity must have this) before we are able to help.”
The roles the charity will play will be the following:
Help people with fundraising campaigns
Supporting families throughout their fundraising campaigns
Speaking to specialists on behalf of the families to see if and what trials are available
Pointing people in the right direction for help and support with non-medical funding
Consulting and working with other charities with regards to research into all conditions that affect families campaigns
Giving grants where applicable
Looking into having a memory-making holiday home.
Lynn added: “These are just a few things we will be doing.
“As it stands at the moment, we have to wait for the charity commission to get back to us, so everything has been transferred to our legal team until this happens.
“Until the charity is established Gemma and I will be going through the emails of the families requesting help and making contact with them to discuss what they need help with and how we can help them.
“Some families are unaware of treatments available for them so we will speak about treatments that may be available.”
“I want to let people know what our aims are with the charity”
