Supporting Teenage Cancer Trust
The Oli Mills Foundation is dedicated to raising funds for essential programs that support teenagers battling cancer.
Our Mission
Oli Mills was a fun loving, outgoing, caring and general all round good guy who was loved and is missed by all. We know that Teenage Cancer Trust would have been a charity he'd have admired and it's an honour to raise money for them and keep his name alive in the process.
Around seven young people between the ages of 13-24 get diagnosed with cancer every day. The work Teenage Cancer Trust do is mind blowing and we are proud to support them. Please take a look at their site to see some examples of the work they carry out.
Our Commitment
So far, we have raised over £670,000 for Teenage Cancer Trust in Oli's name!
And we are aiming to raise £1,000,000 (yes, that's one million!). It sounds a lot, but Oli was a special young man, he has some very special friends and family and ultimately, a charity that supports young people with cancer will, unfortunately, continue to be relevant.
AN HOUR WELL SPENT
Just £25 could pay for an hour with a Youth Support Coordinator to help a young person with cancer cope with the anxiety and isolation experienced during cancer treatment. It's why the work we do is so important and every donation counts.
If you're able to donate today, don't forget to add Gift Aid!
IT'S BEEN QUITE A JOURNEY
When Oli died at the Royal Free hospital in 2005, he was being treated on a ward with much older people, so whilst the care was first class, the environment wasn't ideal. When he died, his Mother, Sarah, and brother, Eddie, did some research, found Teenage Cancer Trust, and decided it would be the perfect charity to support in his name.
I don't think anyone could have predicted that by 2015 over £100,000 would be raised in his name. We actually think it's more, but part of the 'problem' was that people did so much at different times it became impossible to track effectively. So, ten years on, we decided to set up an official Fund working with Teenage Cancer Trust and a movement of people, businesses & organisations called the Oli Mills Foundation which has seen us continue this work together to great effect - what a journey so far!
All money raised by the Oli Mills Foundation is donated to Teenage Cancer Trust and in continuing to support the great work they do, we make a huge difference to the lives of teenagers and young people (plus their families) who suffer with cancer - we know Oli would be proud to see this grow. There are lots of ways to support, from one off donations, taking on a challenge and raising money via sponsorship or taking part in one of the many events we puton throughout the year.
Friends of the Foundation
Our Friends of the Foundation are already playing a crucial role in their support of the OMF. It was important to us that the first businesses to support the Oli Mills Foundation, both from a financial and time perspective, were run by people or had links to people who had a personal connection with Oli and his family and friends.
With the above in mind, we could not have wished for a better set of businesses - all run by inspirational people with a real passion for giving back to the community. As we work together as a family of businesses and also engage with Verulam School, there will be more news, offers and ideas that we can all get involved in.
We are actively searching for more 'Friends of the Foundation' to join us and help ensure that teenagers don't have to face cancer alone - we'd love to hear from you.
