We are delighted to share more with you from our second Little Lifts Retreat for people living with secondary breast cancer 🥰

We spent three days and two nights enjoying the beautiful Norfolk countryside, a sound bath, yoga, music, crafting, pampering, delicious food and lots of laughter with our wonderful beneficiaries. This was an opportunity to connect, form community, talk and enjoy some relaxing time away from medical appointments and normal day-to-day life.

We cannot thank Laura @baldbooblessandbeautiful enough for her ongoing support, coupled with a donation in memory of Jo Ashford, and our brilliant hosts @sedgefordhallestate who made our Retreat possible.

A big thank you to everyone who supported this event. We couldn’t have done it without you!

It's National Hugging Day, and we simply had to celebrate! As you can tell, we love a hug at Little Lifts... It's a simple, but meaningful way of spreading kindness 🥰

Our beneficiaries often even describe receiving their Little Lifts Box as a 'hug in a Box'. Every Box is curated and packed with care and a whole lot of love, ensuring people feel supported when they need it most.

Today is Brew Monday, and we wanted to spread a smile at HQ! ☺️ We got involved by making a cuppa and having a check-in.

@samaritanscharity founded Brew Monday in response to the third Monday of the year, which is considered the most difficult. Samaritans encourage people to get together and talk over a cuppa.

We all have good days and bad days, so be sure to check in on your friends, families, colleagues, and loved ones today and throughout the year.

These simple gestures of kindness can mean so much and start important conversations ☕

Why not join us? Not just today, but all year round 🥰

We were delighted to attend the launch of @eufloria_drink 🎉

Eufloria is a sugar-free sparkling, non alcoholic botanical drink company founded by Amy and Kerri. They were inspired to start Eufloria after being diagnosed with breast cancer and were looking for a healthy alternative to alcohol.

Amy and Kerri are beneficiaries of Little Lifts Boxes and have been incredible supporters of our small charity. They will be donating 1% of sales to support our work.

‘We knew from the start that giving back to charity was a priority, as we’ve both been beneficiaries of this beautiful, small but mighty charity; we never had any doubt who to support.’ - Amy and Kerri

Thank you for helping us to spread kindness 💕

Say hello to Emma, who received Little Lifts Surgery and Radiotherapy Boxes from @norfolkandnorwichhospital 🤗

Emma is a life coach living in the countryside with two primary-age girls and her husband. She was diagnosed with stage one grade one breast cancer in her right breast. Initially, she was going to receive a lumpectomy, but the cancer had spread across her whole breast. She underwent a mastectomy with lymph node removal and three weeks of radiotherapy.

Emma said her Boxes made her feel: 'Like someone knew how I was feeling. That I wasn’t alone.' She particularly enjoyed her @spacemasks and @moogooskincareuk moisturiser.

Emma's Top Tips:
⭐ Schedule rest for around two weeks post radiotherapy treatment. Often people feel okay during, but fatigue and feeling ‘groggy’ can hit hard around a fortnight after completion.
⭐ Moisturise your skin like there’s no tomorrow! Use MooGoo as soon as you are able to post-op, so you can start supporting your skin through radio.
⭐ Prioritise yourself. It’s not selfish. It’s essential. There will be many times in your life that you can support the ones you love, but now is about you, your treatment and your recovery. Ask for help. Advocate for yourself. You need to protect your energy and time.

Emma added: ‘Throughout my journey this year, I have been writing a book called ‘Thriving with cancer, kids and other crap’. I’m really passionate about getting it to the people that need it most because I know it can support so many through, not just cancer, but any time of trauma. It’s about how to choose optimism and joy and real, practical ways to do so.’
