The Boom Foundation was set up in memory of Philip Wilson who lost his battle to sarcoma cancer on 8 March 2013. Our aim is to help fill the gaps in the support that he received, that his fiancee, friends and family recognised during his battle. Sarcomas are rare cancers that develop in the supporting or connective tissues of the body such as muscle, bone, nerves, cartilage, blood vessels and fat. The Boom Foundation aims to raise public awareness and funds, of which 50% will go towards support initiatives in Northern Ireland including a new sarcoma support group for patients and families and financial grants for individuals and families. The other 50% will go to Sarcoma UK to support its nationally-focused work to improve standards of treatment and care for patients in the UK and to fund vital research.

Our son Ben was diagnosed with DIPG, a very rare and aggressive brain tumour, aged 7. Previously fit and well, on diagnosis, we were told his tumour was inoperable and incurable and that we had at best a year left with our son. Despite taking part in a clinical trial and having intensive treatment, Ben passed away 6 months later. Following his death, we found little in the way of regular, ongoing support that was informal and for the whole family. To lose a child and feel that there is no help available to you is frightening and leaves you feeling isolated and vulnerable. We set up The Benjamin Pritchard Foundation – Be More Ben to enhance bereavement support and services for parents, families and siblings who have lost a child under the age of 18.

Self Help Africa has been working in sub-Saharan Africa for thirty years. Established in the immediate aftermath of the Ethiopian famine, we have been striving ever since to tackle the root causes of hunger and famine across the continent. Up to 70% of people living in sub-Saharan Africa rely directly or indirectly on farming for their survival. This is the area we focus on, because we know this is where we can make the biggest impact. Farming is a business, and by helping small holders to move from subsistence to surplus, long term sustainable farm businesses are created. In July 2014, Self Help Africa merged with Gorta, Ireland’s longest established NGO.
