Your donation will help seriously ill young adults create lasting memories with their loved ones

Each year, thousands of young adults aged 16 to 40 across the UK face the reality of a life-threatening illness. Instead of embracing the prime of life, they find themselves navigating hospital appointments, medications, isolation and stress.

At Willow, we believe that every moment should be cherished. That’s why we’re dedicated to helping young adults take a much-needed break from their challenges, creating magical experiences that become lifelong memories.

From fun-packed days out to peaceful breaks away from it all or boxes filled with treats, every experience matters.

Sarah is 39 and lives in Wiltshire. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent intense treatment, which turned her life upside down. When she was first diagnosed, her thoughts immediately went to her two young children.

“They’re not going to have a mummy. It just broke my heart into a thousand pieces.”

The emotional and physical toll of chemotherapy, the fear of recurrence, and the financial strain weighed on Sarah and her family. During these challenging times, Willow provided a Special Break at Center Parcs Longleat, allowing Sarah, her husband, and their daughters to escape the daily challenges they faced. For Sarah, seeing her children having the time of their lives, smiling and laughing, melted her heart.

“I really wanted to make some happy memories with them, given all that we have been through, and this absolutely ticked the box. It gave us a chance to make beautiful memories without worry”
