We’re incredibly proud to announce our new charity partnership with Something To Look Forward To – a UK-based charity providing free gifts and experiences to people affected by cancer and their families. We believe in the power of thoughtful gifting to bring moments of joy, connection and comfort. This partnership is a reflection of that belief – and a chance for us to help deliver kindness where it’s needed most.
About Something To Look Forward To
Something To Look Forward To is a family-founded cancer charity that provides free, donated gifts and experiences to people affected by cancer and their families across the UK. The charity was founded in 2015 by Fiona Coldron, following her own diagnosis of breast cancer. For Fiona and her family, small treats – a night away, a nice meal, or a day out together – became moments of light during an incredibly difficult time. They helped her cope, gave her strength, and, most importantly, gave her something to look forward to.
What started in a bedroom has since grown into a multi-award-winning national charity. Fiona’s legacy now lives on through her daughter Francesca, who leads the charity with the same passion and purpose. To date, Something To Look Forward To has provided over £2 million worth of gifts to more than 40,000 people affected by cancer – helping to reduce isolation, boost wellbeing, and give families a moment of joy when it’s needed most.
Why This Partnership Matters to WellBox
In the corporate world, we use gifts to build connections, celebrate people, and show appreciation. But that same power of gifting can have an even deeper impact when it reaches someone going through one of life’s toughest challenges. Partnering with Something To Look Forward To allows us to extend the heart of what we do, creating moments that matter, to people who truly need something to lift their spirits.
Understanding Cancer Poverty
A cancer diagnosis can turn every part of life upside down. For many, treatment means stepping away from work, facing rising travel and care costs, and dealing with a future full of financial uncertainty. This often leads to what’s known as cancer poverty – when the everyday costs of living with cancer make even small comforts unaffordable. Things like a meal out, a day away, or a thoughtful gift become out of reach at the very moment they’re needed most. It’s in these moments that organisations like Something To Look Forward To make a real difference.
What WellBox Is Doing
We are donating gifts to be offered through Something To Look Forward To’s platform – allowing individuals affected by cancer, or their loved ones, to request and receive a thoughtful, personalised gift at no cost.
We’re proud that our gifts will become part of the charity’s growing list of donations, which already includes everything from hotel stays and beauty products to family days out and meals.
Looking Ahead
We’re honoured to support Something To Look Forward To in their mission to bring comfort, joy, and dignity to those affected by cancer, especially during times when even small kindnesses can feel out of reach.
