Parasol Foundation

The Parasol Foundation Trust is a philanthropic trust established in 2004 in Gibraltar and is overseen by its principal benefactress, Ruth Parasol.
For over 10 years the Trust has been giving to communities in Gibraltar, UK, Israel, India and the United States. To date, the Trust has committed over £20,000,000 on various educational, health, culture and heritage initiatives in Gibraltar, UK, Israel, India and US. Ruth is one of the world’s wealthier self-made business women. As a successful Internet entrepreneur and investor, she believes “Our time, success and fortune are borrowed. You can never give or appreciate enough, but every effort helps. Here, at The Parasol Foundation Trust, we enable change by supporting talented individuals and core centers of health and education, in order to create a better future for the next generation.”
Cancer Relief has had a dream of creating a tranquility garden and much needed memorial wall for quite some time. We were at a loss as to how to pay for such a large job until the fantastic Parasol Foundation came to our rescue and so generously offered to fund the development of the area. Thanks to their generous donation, we were able to enlist the services of a landscape gardener who is working on a beautiful and fitting design for our tranquility garden. Thank you, Parasol Foundation, for being so generous, supportive and understanding. Without your vital financial backing, the garden would be nothing more than a pipe dream.

A vital part of running a professional clinical service within a charity is the need for our staff to ensure their continued professional development. Training and education, be it personal or as a group for the good of the charity can be incredibly expensive and something a charity can ill afford. That is where the Kusuma Trust stepped in and agreed to fund various staff on various courses over the years. Because of the Trust, the charity has been able to ensure that their staff and their services are meeting the highest professional standards. For this, we thank Kusuma Trust for their huge generosity and support.
Abacus Financial Services Ltd

One of the charity’s greatest assets but greatest expenses are our professional, experienced nurses. In 2017, Abacus made the decision to sponsor a Cancer Relief nurse for three years. This means a yearly donation of £26,000 to cover the cost of funding a nurse post for a year. This takes a great weight off the charity’s finances and ensure our nurses will be available to care for those who most need them in our community. We cannot thank Abacus enough for their generous support.

Recent efforts to expand the services provided by the charity have meant a huge amount of work was done for the charity by Isolas’ staff.

Cancer Relief has been so fortunate to have been one of the beneficiaries of GBC’s Open day fundraising efforts since. These donations from GBC have been the backbone of Cancer Relief’s yearly fundraising efforts and have helped us meet the financial requirements necessary to keep the Centre open and free to all who need us. GBC’s incredible efforts enable the community to take an active part in ensuring our local charities get the support they so desperately need.

Cancer Relief has had the great good fortune of being supported entirely for free by Piranha Designs for several years. In 2015, it was decided that the charity website needed an update. Piranha Design’s team made it easy for the charity to reinvent our online presence with a professional, modern and accessible look. We are so grateful for their dedication, support and generosity to the charity.

In 2014, Morrisons decided to provide invaluable support for Cancer Relief by becoming corporate sponsors of the charity for three years. During this time, they have raised and donated £50,000 towards the running of the Centre and provision of our services. The charity simply could not have maintained its work in the community without this tremendous support and for this, Cancer Relief is exceptionally grateful.
Porcelanosa (Lifestyle Design Studio)
Cancer Relief received, to our memory, the largest single donation it the charity’s history recently from Porcelanosa thanks to a fantastic combination of ‘a great client, good design, a nice composition of materials and… additional support from our main stream suppliers and local companies who we have worked with over the years. Special thanks to JP Haulage, Light and Power shop, ESS cleaners, Eastgate, Basewell and Jet joinery who have all supported the project and reduced costs and in some cases even offered services free of charge’. As a result of this generous support, the huge donation of £50,000.00 was donated to Cancer Relief very recently, making 2018 one of our most exciting years to date! Our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in making this incredible donation a reality.
