How To Apply
We work directly with Teenage Cancer Trust units and care professionals to identify young people who would benefit from a wish. If you’re a medical professional or family member and would like to discuss a referral, please contact us.
Why It Matters
A wish is more than a gift — it’s a lifeline during treatment, a moment to smile, and a reminder that they’re not alone. These small acts of kindness carry Lauren’s spirit forward in the most powerful way.
Every wish we grant is fully funded by the generosity of our supporters. No admin fees. No overheads. Just pure impact.

What We Do
At Lauren’s Legacy, our mission is simple: to create moments of joy during the most difficult times.
We support teenagers and young adults aged 13 to 24, living in the East Midlands, who are undergoing treatment for cancer. Working closely with organisations such as Teenage Cancer Trust and Young Lives vs Cancer, we receive referrals for young people in need of a lift — whether that’s a practical item or a special experience.
Each wish is carefully chosen to suit the individual — something that makes life easier, brings a smile, or helps them feel like themselves again.
What We Provide
Wishes we’ve granted so far include:
🎮 Tech – iPads, PlayStations, laptops, streaming subscriptions
🌴 Family Holidays – breaks away to make memories that last
🎟 Concert & Event Tickets – for artists, football matches, shows and more
🛋 Home Comforts – items that improve rest, recovery or mobility
We also offer access to our holiday lodge at Ashbourne Heights, available for families to enjoy some quality time away together.
