***** Vacancy at the MCA Trust. The MCA Trust Needs You! The MCA Trust is looking for someone to join the team voluntarily to look after and deliver the MCA Trust Merchandise Stall to events in London and the Essex area. A clean driving license is essential, plus you would need to be able to assist in erecting and dismantling the stall, including making sure the contents are securely stored away in our storage area. There are usually around 8 events a year which are typically held at the weekends. The role would also involve delivering to our flagship events held throughout the year. A van would be made available. If you are interested please could you get in touch via FB or email katieheaphy@mcatrust.org.uk *****

***** A second MCA Trust Vacancy – Voluntary. The MCA Trust is looking for an Endurance Activity Coordinator. We are looking for someone to organise and manage Marathon Events including all aspects of outside activities, to enable the MCA Trust to increase the support it gives to Children with Cancer in the East London & Essex Area. The role would involve canvassing and liaising with participants, including assisting them with both promotional and marketing aspects to achieve the maximum return for the MCA Trust. Ideally, experience in taking part in endurance events would be helpful but not necessary. This position, as always with the MCA, is voluntary. If you are interested please could you get in touch via FB or email katieheaphy@mcatrust.org.uk *****

 THE MCA TRUST 

MAKING A DIFFERENCE TO CHILDREN WITH BRAIN TUMOURS

 

 

The amount of money the MCA Trust has raised is fast approaching the milestone figure of £250,000. 
 
Money that is making a difference to children with cancer in the East London and Essex areas.
 
We are also pleased to confirm that the current ratio of money used for good causes relative to the income is 96.78 pence in the pound.
 
The MCA Trust is a children's charity, run solely by volunteers. Making a difference today and everyday.
We are so happy to finally announce our partnership with Richard House Children's Hospice in Beckton, East London.
This will allow us to reach even more young people affected by this awful disease and continue to make a difference to children with cancer.

Who are we?

The Michael Charles Adams Memorial Trust aids and assists local children with brain related cancers. We are partners with The Queens Hospital in Romford to grant these children a special wish or to donate a piece of equipment to help make their lives a little easier or special. The Trust was born following many years of charity work by a very special man, Michael Charles Adams MBE (Mick), who was recognised for his devotion by receiving an MBE from Her Majesty The Queen in 2002 .......... more

Getting Help

We aim to do everything possible to grant a wish. No wish is ever too small because sometimes the little things really can make a big difference. So, if you know a suitable child or young person who has a special wish which you would like the MCA Trust to help make come true, then please get in touch with us straightaway to make an initial application. Hopefully everything will meet our criteria and the MCA Trust can then start working on making your child's wish come true .......... more

 

You can download a Wishes Application Form here and send it back to us for review. This will mean getting some detailed information about the child, their medical condition and anything else that may help us decide if and how we can make the Wish come true. If necessary, and with the permission of the parents or guardian, we will ask our Medical Advisor, Dr Emma Staples, to contact the health professionals who are familiar with the young person’s condition. Hopefully everything will meet our criteria and The MCA Trust will start work on making your Wish come true. The parents or guardian will be consulted at all stages while we plan the Wish.

On the 3rd April 2018, members of the MCA Trust visited children on the Tropical Lagoon ward in Queen's Hospital, Romford, Essex, accompanied by Moana, Belle, Chase and Marshall of Paw Patrol (supplied by the fantastic Sue Ospreay’s Lightnin’ Drama Group in Rainham, Essex). We visited many children including those in the oncology clinic, where we handed over the MCA Toothbrush packs to promote good oral hygiene, especially to those undergoing treatment for head/neck related cancer. The Romford Recorder joined us while we were there, took photographs and have run a story on us!

On the 5th April 2018 we visited Princess Alexandra Hospital, Harlow for day 2 of our Toothbrush Campaign and we visited the Children's Emergency Department, Dolphin Ward and oncology clinic where we handed out our toothbrush packs and saw the children alongside Chase and Marshall from Paw Patrol and Minnie Mouse!
