What we do

With an estimated 2.5 million people in the UK affected by cancer, Raffingers are pleased to announce ‘ Raffingers Foundation’, a charity we have set up to honour those affected by pancreatic and ovarian cancer.

Raffingers Foundation was formed in 2016, in memory of Jason Kew. Jason was a dear husband and friend of Raffingers who sadly lost his life to pancreatic cancer. This loss triggered the team at Raffingers into action. We wanted to do something positive, to honour Jason and to honour those family members the team had sadly lost to ovarian cancer; hence Raffingers Foundation was born.

The foundation is run by volunteers, which means every single penny raised is distributed in one of two ways:

1. Directly to research projects conducted by Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund and Ovarian Cancer Action. Read More

2. Directly to families affected by pancreatic or ovarian cancer and experiencing financial difficulties. This money is used to help with costs, such as private counselling for any family members, training and equipment. Read More

Approximately 4% of pancreatic cancer patients survive for five years or more from diagnosis; this figure is 46% for those affected by ovarian cancer. We are fighting to change these figures. Therefore, we host a range of fundraising days throughout the year to help raise money, as well as awareness. We invite you to join us at any of these events as well as to fundraise for us.
