The Hays Travel foundation has recently donated a grant of £6,000 to Alex's Angels Foundation. The registered charity was founded by cancer survivor Alexandra Turner who works as a Travel Consultant in Hays Travel Jarrow. She was diagnosed with Larangeal cancer, a rare form of cancer, at the age of 15.

Alex's Angels Foundation supports children, young people and their families, in the North East and Cumbria, who have been diagnosed with cancer. The charity provides grants for utility bills, hospital travel costs, clothing vouchers, requests for treat days and special events, and helps towards relieving the financial burden for parents. The charity can also provide a crisis grant, which is up to the value of £1,000.

Our £6,000 grant will give Alex's Angels Foundation the opportunity to provide aid for an extra family a month with general grants.

Earlier in the year, Hays Travel's Jarrow branch also sponsored Alex to take part in the Boxing Day Dip on South Shields beach. This was in aid of Alex's Angels Foundation and the Hays Travel Foundation matched the branch sponsorship.
