Children in Need: East Sussex charity features on Vernon Kay's BBC Radio 2 show
An East Sussex charity featured on Vernon Kay’s BBC Radio 2 show on Monday (November 9).
Children with Cancer Fund (CWCF), based in Willingdon, was given a shout out by Kay ahead of Children in Need 2026 this Friday (November 13).
CWCF was formed in July 1998 and is made up of a small office team and local volunteers, granting wishes to children with cancer and their families.
Kay said: “They help children with cancer and their brothers and sisters enjoy being kids – days out, group trips and time with families going through the same thing.”
The presenter then introduced 10-year-old Rudy, who has been battling a brain tumour since he was a toddler, and his mum Cathie.
They shared how the charity has helped their family since Rudy’s diagnosis, with the 10-year-old saying he was ‘so happy that we’ve found our little group’.
CWCF thanked Kay for raising awareness of their charity and sharing the story of one of the families they support.
