The Lewis Foundation Volunteers
Alchemy Virtual Assistance (VA) has announced award-winning, Northamptonshire-based, The Lewis Foundation as its ‘Charity of the Year’.
The Virtual Assistant company will donate administration and flexible PA support to the organisation over the next twelve months, so that the charity’s founders, Lorraine and Lee Lewis, can focus on providing free gift packs to adult cancer patients receiving treatment across six East Midlands hospitals.
The packs contain items which patients might find difficult to buy themselves or simply cannot afford, such as overnight essentials, puzzle books, radios and model craft kits – keeping people occupied during their treatment and giving them something nice to look forward to.
“I’ve been inspired by the phenomenal work The Lewis Foundation does for some time and when I met Lorraine, I just knew we had to do what we could to support her and the team,” said Suzy Sanders, Founder of Alchemy VA.
“As part of our twelve-month pledge, we will support The Lewis Foundation with social media activities to raise awareness of its volunteers who source, package and hand-deliver an incredible 2,500 gifts a month.
“The Foundation’s volunteers also spend time with the gift recipients to help reduce isolation and loneliness, so it’s absolutely fantastic to see the charity getting the recognition it so much deserves with all the recent awards and accolades. They’ve certainly gone from strength to strength, and we hope that by donating our time, we can free up Lorraine to carry on doing the important work she does so well.”
