    We are beyond grateful to the amazing Tigers Children’s Motorcycle Display Team for raising an incredible £2,000 for Alfie’s Wish this year! These talented children, along with their dedicated families, have spent the event season touring the country, entertaining audiences with their thrilling and fun-filled performances. But it’s so much more than just a show. The Tigers create a space where kids can also learn important life skills like discipline, respect, and teamwork, all while having an absolute blast doing what they love! Training all year round, they put their hearts into every performance, and it shows. The sense of community, support, and joy they build is truly inspiring, and it’s clear how much fun they have bringing their stunts to life. We are incredibly honoured that the Tigers chose to support Alfie’s Wish this year, alongside another wonderful charity Harlee’s Angels. Their generous donation will have a huge impact on the children with cancer we support, helping us to create lasting memories and smiles during difficult times. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Tigers, for raising awareness about Alfie's Wish and for your endless hard work, passion, and generosity 🐯 You are all A M A Z I N G #ThankYouTigers #AlfiesWish #MakingADifference #CommunitySupport #LifeSkillsThroughFun #KidsHelpingKids #InspiringYouth #CharitySupport #ChildrensMotorcycleTeam #RaisingAwareness

    Family Friday's - A Dream Come True We are so pleased to hear Millie and her family made some incredible memories during their stay at the Port Lympne last month. This once-in-a-lifetime adventure was made possible thanks to the generosity of our amazing supporters and a special partnership with Abby's Heroes together, we created a truly unforgettable experience for Millie! Millie’s mum, Vicky, shared some heart-warming words about their trip: “I just want to say a huge thank you! For our stay in the Tiger Lodge. We had an amazing time seeing all the animals, and the grounds were so beautiful. We had a fun-filled, packed day scooting around in the golf buggy. The safari was brilliant, seeing the animals in so much space and the animals were well looked after. All the staff were friendly and helpful, it was just the best experience. Many thanks for organizing our stay Alfie's Wish and Abby's Heroes —it really was a dream come true!" 💛 💜 We can’t wait to continue making more dreams come true with your help. Thank you for being a part of these special moments! 💫✨ #PortLympne #TigerLodge #MakingMemories #AlfiesWish #AbbysHeroes #FamilyAdventure #DreamsComeTrue #familyfridays

    🌍World Mental Health Day On World Mental Health Day, we emphasize the importance of mental well-being for everyone, especially for children who face unique challenges during their developmental years. Whether it’s children experiencing everyday struggles or those battling life-threatening illnesses like cancer, mental health care is essential. In the UK: - 1 in 6 children aged 5-16 experience a mental health disorder, with issues like anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges becoming increasingly common. - For children with cancer, these challenges are even greater. The emotional strain of living with cancer—fear, uncertainty, and isolation—deeply affects their mental health. - Siblings of children with cancer also face emotional challenges, often feeling overlooked or overwhelmed as the family focuses on the sick child or worse they become a bereaved sibling. 💬 Checking in on children—whether they’re going through everyday struggles or something as serious as cancer—can make all the difference. Let’s use World Mental Health Day as a reminder to prioritize the mental health of all children. Whether they’re dealing with the pressures of school, social life, or serious illness, every child deserves to feel supported 💙 #WorldMentalHealthDay #ChildrenWithCancer #MentalHealthMatters #FamilySupport #CheckInOnYourKids #YouAreNotAlone
