The ABC Trust has so far helped local hospitals with equipment that would not normally be provided by the NHS. We have supplied a large DVD TV for use in a common area used by people going through cancer treatment, DVD players for all rooms on a ward, 2 complete DVD libraries (+ DVD cabinet in one instance as the hospital needed somewhere to keep them organised) to provide people going through cancer treatment distraction whilst in hospital. Additionally one hospital suggested a mini exercise bike would be appreciated by patients and therefore the Andi Bull Cancer Trust provided it for them.

Feedback
Christina Kelly said "We could not have added all the fabulous extras to our wonderful ward without your support and generosity" following our gift to Kettering General hospital of 22 TV/DVD players for use by young patients.

Also Trisha Briden said "Yet again The Andi Bull Cancer Trust has come to the aid of Skylark Ward with another magnificent donation Two Televisions, Two PlayStations and a microwave delivered faster than i believed possible. The number of children and families who benefit from your kind donations grows daily and i know they would all like to join me in thanking you!"

It's also always great to get feedback from users of the equipment we provide, Matthew Smith said the following " Just wanted to say thankyou for your donation of a TV to skylark children's ward at Kettering General Hospital. My son was admitted last night for a minor infection and your kind donation made his stay far more comfortable. Thankyou"

Many eligible individuals have also applied directly to the trust and have been supplied with personal gifts. We regularly receive applications from individuals, an example of some of the items we have supplied are:

* Multiple magazine subscriptions to provide distraction to an individual.
* A digital camera to an individual who wanted to further their photography experience.
* Craft materials to a young creative individual.
* A 'Distant Learning' language course to an individual who wanted to make positive use of their time whilst undergoing treatment.
* Multiple Apple iPods to individuals, these have been a popular choice!

We really appreciate feedback from applicants so appreciate it when we receive feedback following a successful application. to provide feedback you can either fill in the paper form which will have been provided with your gift or alternatively fill in our online feedback by following this link.

We have received several messages from young individuals who have received gifts from the trust, below are just a few!

• "Thank you very much for the headphones very much appreciated. God bless you."
• "Thank you so much for the Spanish learning disk it means so much and it will help me pass time while I'm in hospital. Thanks"
• "THANKYOU! :-)"
  

We pride ourselves on turning around an application for an individual request in as short a time as possible. This was largely driven by Andi's own experiences and he didn't want any application to the Andi Bull Cancer Trust to get held up in bureaucracy and complicated paperwork. Should you wish to enquire if you or a relative is eligible to apply to the Andi Bull Cancer Trust please do not hesitate to contact us. It is also possible to submit an application online by following this link.
