About this cause

We at Harveysgang help children with life limiting and long term illnesses enjoy a specially organised tour of their local pathology department, becoming scientists for the day. These tours empower youngsters who endure many blood tests, transfusions and invasive procedures during their treatments. It enables them to ask questions and have some fun when visiting hospital. We supply a special Harveysgang lab coat, ID badge and goody bag to go along with their tour. Harveysgang tours are now at 25 hospitals and we hope that one every critically ill child will have the chance of a tour. We wish to produce a fun packed book of a Harveysgang tour so that we may reach even more critically ill children.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Harvey Baldwin was just 7 when he was diagnosed with leukemia. He was a local Sompting boy and during his 18 months of treatment he endured many blood tests and transfusions. Harveysgang is able to help youngsters with life limiting conditions face their fears and empower them with knowledge in a fun way by becoming scientists for the day. We can help many local children within Sussex.
