The Nicola corry Support Foundation (NCSF) is a Registered Charity whose purpose is to:

• Support families who have a mother or a father suffering from cancer,

• help Improve facilities for patients with young families in NHS Cancer Care,

• Contribute to Cancer research particularly for rare cancer such as DSRCT

The Nicola Corry Support Foundation was originally created to help Nicola and her family in her fight against a very rare cancer. Just after giving birth to a son, she needed to have chemotherapy treatment. The task of coping and caring for Alfie as well as enduring chemotherapy, was so immense for her family that her friends rallied round and created a fund to help her family cope.

This Fund provided financial support for pre-school nursery, complementary treatments and holiday breaks.

After Nicola sadly passed away on 23rd May 2005, her family and friends wanted to continue with the Fund to help others in a similar situation. In June 2006 it became a Registered Charity and then changed it's name to the Nicola Corry Support Foundation.

"Whenever evil befalls us, we ought to ask ourselves, after the first suffering, how we can turn it into good. So shall we take occasion, from one bitter root, to raise perhaps many flowers."

Leigh Hunt (1784 - 1859)- English Author
