We are SO excited to announce that we have gifted 20,000 Little Lifts Boxes! 🎉 Behind every Box is a person affected by breast cancer, and our hope is that they feel more prepared, thought about, and loved as they begin their breast cancer treatment 💕 The story of our very first Box is rooted in the kindness that our founder, Oa, received from her friends and family during her own breast cancer treatment. That spirit of kindness continues to flow through everything we do, inspiring each Box to be curated and packed with love and care. We firmly believe that even the smallest act of kindness can make a profound difference, and it's this belief that has transformed one Box into 20,000 🌟 To every single person who has contributed to our mission with their own acts of kindness, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. Your support, generosity, and compassion fuel our work and make it possible for us to continue spreading love and support to those in need 🥰 Here's to the next 20,000 Boxes and beyond! #BreastCancer #MakingADifference #UKCharity #Milestone
Little Lifts
Non-profit Organizations
We’re on a mission to offer every person affected by breast cancer the opportunity to receive a Little Lifts Box.
About us
We believe that small gestures can make a big difference to people having treatment for breast cancer. Every year approximately 55,000 women and 400 men are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK. Plus, there are 61,000 women living with secondary (incurable) breast cancer in the UK too. We’re on a mission to support them by offering a Little Lifts Box at the beginning of their treatment. We do this by working directly with hospitals in the East of England, where Boxes are given out to patients by their healthcare teams. For people undergoing treatment for breast cancer outside of this area, they can apply for a Little Lifts Box via The Little Kindness Fund. A Little Lifts Box is packed full of carefully selected products to help provide the little lifts patients might appreciate (and need) as they go through treatment. Looking after the planet is important to us so, where possible, we include products that are locally sourced, ethically produced, eco-friendly, organic and vegan. To find out more, visit our website.
