What we do…

Established in 2019, the foundation celebrates the life of Katherine Allport, who passed away with a rarer form of breast cancer aged just 32.  

Our primary purpose is to create free, personalised hampers for those starting chemotherapy who live or are receiving treatment in Staffordshire.

Katherine received many thoughtful gifts and pampering products from friends and family to help during her cancer journey. These small gifts lifted Katherine's spirits and made her feel like she wasn't alone during a difficult time in her life.  With this in mind, The Katherine Allport Foundation was formed by her family who've brought all these essential items into one hamper to be of great benefit to someone starting their treatment.

Katherine was a very kind and thoughtful person, and it's of great comfort to the family to support others in her name. The hampers will ensure the recipient is "chemo ready" as they contain many essential items such as moisturisers, anti-sickness bands, blankets, neck pillows, hand sanitiser and much more.

On occasion, we also support people by offering special gifts or days out to the family of loved ones affected by cancer.

If you or someone you know would benefit from one of our hampers, please get in touch.
