Bell 520 has gone to Ingram Suite at Lincoln County Hospital. It will be used as a mobile bell for those patients who are unable to get to the wall mounted bell on the ward.

Bell 519 and Milestone Plaque 92 have gone to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Tunbridge Wells Hospital.
This is the 80th NICU bell we’ve sent out.

Every now and then, we are asked for bells in different languages. Bell 518 was made especially for a little girl to ring at her hospital which is the Ospedale San Giovanni in Switzerland. Her mum wanted the poem on it to be in Italian as they live in an Italian speaking canton
and of course, we were only too happy to oblige.
Thank you for contacting us Elisabetta. Lots of love to you and your little girl 🎗️🥰

As well as the bell that went to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, we donated our 91st Milestone Plaque too.
This ‘add on’ plaque has a different poem on it so patients can choose which poem they want to use when they ring the bell. It was written by a lovely lady called Jane Brady who
has ongoing treatment for metastatic breast cancer. Jane wanted to ring the bell to celebrate milestones in her own treatment journey and wrote the poem to be more inclusive.
Of course, we don’t ever stipulate when someone should ring a bell.
Originally, it was rolled out as an end of treatment bell (hence our name) but as time passed, it was clear that people wanted to ring it for many reasons. And we’re all for that! 🔔🙌🏻

Bell 517 has gone to Ward C2 at Addenbrooke’s Hospital and will be used as a mobile bell for families to ring.
This bell was sponsored by Sofia Honey Adcock. We asked her mum, Sammy, to tell us why she wanted to do this:
“Sofia Honey, 12, is a leukaemia survivor and wanted to
hospitals. They both hold a very special place in her heart.
We also do lots of fundraising, share our journey and raise awareness around childhood cancer. Please follow us on Instagram – adcock_family_adventures.
Sponsored with lots of love for all on this tough journey, Sofia Honey xx”
Thank you so much for your support. Sponsorship of bells enables us to carry on sending bells out free of charge within the UK. Please get in touch if you are interested.

Tomorrow is the start of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (CCAM) and if you’re not already aware, it’s also the month of the gold ribbon.
CCAM gets nowhere near the same recognition or coverage as other cancer awareness months but it should. Research gets nowhere near the
funding that other cancers get, but it should. In fact, in 2025, it was around £26m per year by Cancer Research UK. This sounds a lot. But it’s not. They raised 735m that year and there are over 200 types of cancer that affect children, none of which are linked to lifestyle.
Please consider making donations to smaller charities such as @FriendsofRosie and help by raising awareness. Although it’s relatively rare, knowing the signs and symptoms may help someone you know and love to get an earlier diagnosis.
Thank you 🎗️
