Over the last year we have been working on increasing the public profile of the charity and have further developed our relationship with Sargent Cancer Care for Children, whose patron is Cherie Booth QC, a regular guest for our Christmas Celebrations here at Hampton Court.

Her kind offer to host a reception at No 10 Downing Street, on behalf of the Foundation, allowed us to entertain a number of friends and supporters from the world of industry and sport, who we hope will continue to support our work. The guests included Foundation regulars Gloria Hunniford and Mike Read, plus a host of names from the world of sport including Lord Sebastian Coe and tennis player Gabriella Sabtini.

Our thanks to everyone who attended the occasion, and of course, to Cherie Booth for her support in hosting the reception.
