Proud Supporters of Chemogiftbags

At Active Workplace Solutions, we are proud to wholeheartedly support Chemogiftbags and the incredible work they do for breast cancer patients. 

Chemogiftbags provides essential support and encouragement to those undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer. Their dedication to lovingly creating gift bags filled with thoughtful items is remarkable. Each bag is carefully curated, taking into account the unique needs of breast cancer chemotherapy patients. From comforting blankets and cosy socks to puzzle books and soothing skincare products, every item is chosen to bring comfort and uplift the spirits of breast cancer patients during their challenging journey.

What sets Chemogiftbags apart is their commitment to individuality. They understand that each person’s cancer experience is different, and they strive to create a personalised touch with their giftbags. This level of care and attention to detail is truly admirable.

Furthermore, Chemogiftbags goes above and beyond by offering emotional support to patients, in the form of a chat when bags are delivered. They understand the toll cancer takes not only on the individual but also on their loved ones. By offering a listening ear, words of encouragement, and connections to support networks, Chemogiftbags ensures that no one feels alone in their battle against breast cancer. This holistic approach to care resonates deeply with us at Active as we believe in fostering a supportive environment that extends beyond the workplace.

Our continued support for Chemogiftbags stems from the profound impact their work has on the lives of breast cancer patients.

Zao Makeup was intrigued to hear that our black nail polishes were much needed for patients following chemotherapy, in order to protect nails from UV damage that occurs post-treatment. It was exciting to learn that we could really make a difference to these patients’ lives, as makeup and nail polishes are generally seen as frivolous and fun. In this case, our nail polishes are anything but.
Chemogiftbags is an amazing charity that is built on the personal experience of its volunteers who themselves have undergone chemotherapy, and so every item in their gift bag is chosen wisely and thoughtfully. Our nail polishes are ’10 free’, meaning that they are free of 10 known toxicants traditionally found in nail polish and are therefore a perfect fit (gift) given the intended recipients’ health histories. We are delighted to partner with such a worthwhile charity and are truly honoured to be able to help such a fantastic and much-needed initiative to help people navigate their lives post-chemotherapy.

I have supported Chemogiftbags since the very early stages of the charity.
The work they do is of great comfort to the recipients who receive a bag.
I wanted to support a local charity and decided on Chemogiftbags, they do such good work and as a small charity they also need awareness of what they do.
By supporting them at my shop I can help in many ways.

About Kate

I design and create one of a kind headpieces for all occasions. Each piece is carefully planned to suit your requirements. Online orders and worldwide shipping is welcome but if you are able to visit me in my funny little shop it would be fantastic! I’m open Fridays and Saturdays at The Sanctuary Barn in Berkshire.

My passion for hats started early. I whole heartedly believe dressing up should be fun and affordable. I love to use naturally sourced feathers and modern dying techniques, alongside traditional millinery materials and methods.
From neat vintage inspired pill boxes to wowing the race-goer. Subtle bridal to Mother of the Bride, my collections are eclectic and unique.

My love of costume and fantasy allows me to create something for everyone. From Drag shows and theatre to high-end fashion shoots. I am very lucky to have worked with many wonderful people and really look forward to meeting you.

The John Sykes Foundation is a UK registered charity focused on the town of Reading.  The Foundation’s key objective is to improve the lives and well-being of individuals and communities within the town where there is an element of disadvantage.

The Foundation was family founded in 2014 and is personally supported by the Sykes Family who has pledged to donate 20% of their wealth to the charity. Whilst the town of Reading has been very good to the Sykes Family over the years, they are only too aware that whilst Reading is a thriving town, there are so many ways they can provide support to those less fortunate.

To deliver its objective, the charity provides grants to non-profit groups, other registered charities and trusts, as well as helping individuals on an independent basis who reside within the town.  The Trustees aim to be responsive to where need is greatest and therefore supports a wide range of charitable activities.  The only limitation is that (unless in extremely unique circumstances) any grant benefits individuals and communities based in Reading and the immediate surrounding suburbs of the town.

We at HeadWrappers are delighted to be working closely alongside Chemogiftbags.  A fantastic charity offering gift bags to those people who are undergoing a diagnosis for breast cancer and are having chemotherapy.  The bags are full of goodies, many of which would prove to be very useful whilst having chemotherapy

Fundraising during a pandemic was extremely challenging, so when we were approached by Chemogiftbags for a grant from our limited reserves, there was no question of support.

With so many people touched by Cancer, these bags add quality during treatment. Timely focusing on much needed positive feelings and a reminder of normality at a stressful time. If like Reading Lions you can see the benefits of Chemogiftbags, then why not donate too and add quality to life by helping fund a Chemogiftbag.

Idio have worked with many charities over the years, as well as with MyHRDept, another of Chemogiftbags supporters. When they were contacted by Catherine from MyHRDept because they were having problems with their web presence Idio were happy to step in and help.

Working closely with Chemogiftbags they not only sorted out the immediate crisis situation with the web presence, but then undertook the full redesign and continue to support the charity’s digital presence.

Idio work with charities to provide affordable online solutions.

We are so proud to partner with Chemogiftbags as a supplier of bamboo toothbrushes to form part of their specially curated gift bags. This essential service of human kindness brings much needed comfort and practicality to those at a turning point in their life, and is something that hits very close to home as it does unfortunately for countless families across the world. Their care packages are focused around organic products, and as a zero waste company with 100% recycable products, we were keen to provide this natural alternative to plastic toothbrushes. Our toothbrushes are a perfect match as they are equipped with soft bristles, ideal for those undergoing chemo treatment with sensitive gums. We are delighted to continue being a part of this wonderful work and we thank Chemogiftbags for their tireless efforts to bring comfort to those who need it most.

MooGoo was created in Australia back in 2005 when Craig Jones transformed a heavy emollient cream designed for cows, into a light, natural skincare solution for his mother’s Psoriasis. His mother lovingly named it ‘MooGoo’, and what began as a personal project blossomed into an international brand. Today, MooGoo offers over 60 skin and scalp care products, from natural sunscreens to baby care, all crafted with the philosophy of using healthy, effective ingredients safe for family and friends. MooGoo focuses on genuine benefits, transparency, and evolving with science to provide care that feels good and does good, while promising sustainability and honest pricing. For many years MooGoo has been widely recommended by oncologists as a healthy solution to maintaining skin and scalp health during treatment for cancer, due to the gentle nature of the ingredients and nourishing properties. 

We at MooGoo are honoured to be working with Chemogiftbags, they are a wonderful charity, creating thoughtfully considered gift bags full of useful and enjoyable products for those undergoing treatment for Breast Cancer. We are so proud that our products can be a part of these lovely bags and help to provide relief to some of the side effects patients may be experiencing.

A Message from Timothy Lee – Toastmaster

It was an absolute honour to be the Toastmaster at the 2025 ChemoGiftBags Gala Dinner. The evening was filled with warmth, generosity, and a shared spirit of kindness that truly reflects what the charity is all about.

I was deeply moved by the dedication of everyone involved and the incredible difference Chemogiftbags makes to people undergoing chemotherapy. Being part of such a meaningful event was a real privilege.

I’m proud to support ChemoGiftBags and look forward to continuing to do so in the future. Together, we can help bring comfort and care to even more people when they need it most.

Emma Kisby is the creator of a Maidenhead magazine style website called Face2FaceMaidenhead. It began as a directory with a difference, as listings include videos and a Q&A with every business owner to find out more about the face behind the business. She grew the directory in lockdown, giving free listings for a year, and eventually adding events and what’s on guides as lockdown lifted and people wanted a one-stop shop where everything is in one place. Emma later took things offline as well and runs monthly business networking events, as well as the occasional free net walk. Then she launched her podcast Face2Face with Emma Kisby in 2025, where she could showcase the faces behind the businesses even further.’
