S15 Ep 6 - A decade of giving: The Chemogiftbags journey
In this episode of the RG10 Podcast, we sit down with Lynne Shipton, founder of Chemogiftbags, a charity providing free, thoughtfully prepared bags filled with practical items and comforts for people starting chemotherapy.
What began in 2015 as a simple idea has grown into a lifeline for patients across the Thames Valley. Now, in 2025, Chemogiftbags is celebrating its 10th anniversary – a decade of comfort, kindness, and community.
Lynne shares the moving story of how the charity began, the difference it makes for those receiving treatment, and why this anniversary year is such an important milestone. We also hear about the upcoming 10th Anniversary Black Tie Gala on Saturday 4 October, and how you can get involved – whether by donating, volunteering, or simply spreading the word.
