Jingle Jam meets CALM IRL!

We had a brilliant time meeting up at our long-term partner's offices, filming some content with our fab fundraisers, and learning more about the impact of your donations last year.

Stay tuned for update videos, coming soon to a Jingle Jam near you!

A group of Jingle Jam team members, Jingle Jam fundraisers, and CALM staff gather outside of CALM's offices by a sign that reads 'Campaign Against Living Miserably'. They're all smiling into the camera.

We hope that, through research like this, future families won’t face the heartbreak that Jessica’s loved ones have endured.

Your support in December makes a massive difference. As always, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

With help from your donations last year, Sarcoma UK now funds pioneering research to develop better treatments for Ewing's sarcoma - like a promising study on how 'cancer-bursting' viruses could be used to directly kill or activate the body's immune system to fight sarcoma cells.

July is sarcoma awareness month, so we're taking the time to spotlight our 2024 charity partner @sarcoma.org.uk.

Jessica Trant passed away at the age of 19 after being diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma, a type of sarcoma cancer that most commonly affects children and young adults.

They've made incredible progress since 2022, despite a difficult social and political climate.

A highlight? Their Transcend events, designed for trans young people aged 16-19 years to develop their advocacy and campaigning skills, and more importantly, connect with each other.

Pride month may be over, but we're proud to be proud year-round!

Like when we celebrate our friends at Mermaids: a 2022 charity partner, and the UK's only charity dedicated to supporting trans young people and their families.
