Jess Grant Celebration

In Jess’ memory, Jess Grant Celebration is raising money for children suffering from medical conditions.

Inspired by Jess’ love of music, her charity aims to help hospitals and hospices in Suffolk and Cambridgeshire by supporting the provision of music therapy.

Within a year of launching, thanks to fundraising efforts during 2019, the charity was able to provide funding to initiate and support a new music therapy service on the Children’s ward at Ipswich Hospital.

Jess Grant Celebration is aiming to support this fantastic initiative at Ipswich Hospital for many years to come, together with providing funding for music gigs at East Anglian Children’s Hospices, and supporting the brilliant music therapy service at Addenbrookes Hospital, which helped Jess so much when she was receiving treatment there.

Please see the charity’s website at https://www.jessgrantcelebration.org.uk to find out about fundraising events and ways in which you can get involved with supporting the charity.

Callum Pite's Smile Charity

The charity known as Callum Pite's Smile Charity was set up in memory of Michelle and Simon's son Callum Pite who sadly passed away aged 14 on New Year's Day 2013.
Throughout Callum's treatment and times of remission he retained his contagious smile and never complained about his ordeal. He attended school as much as possible and also some football training sessions with his team mates at Boston United in the Community.
The charity was formed in February 2013, and we have a committee of nine trustees who all work tirelessly to make the charity a success.

It is the charity's aim to offer any young person (11-19 years) undergoing cancer treatment a gift or day out of their choice, and to help make them smile for at least a day! Our constitution states that they must live in the counties of Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Suffolk, but this does give us a lot of what we (regular hospital users) would call Local Hospitals.
The gift, day trip or mini break must be requested via the Clic Sargeant team at Addenbrookes Hospital to help keep things running smoothly, but it also means that we can arrange these requests very quickly.
To date we have made over 150 gift donations, please see or website for more details.

As a charity we hold numerous events throughout the year to include bingo’s, live music events, race nights and collections.
We have received some truly wonderful thank you cards from the young people and we know what a difference these gifts make, at a very difficult time in their lives
