"Thank you for enabling our family to have the freedom to do what many families take for granted. We are so grateful to the Axentis Michael Charitable Trust for their generous contribution, which will make a huge difference to Phoebe’s quality of life."
Charlotte Small, Phoebe’s Mum.
We are greatly appreciative to the Axentis Michael Charitable Trust who, through their charity, allowed us to send Aiden on an intense occupational therapy course which was designed around magic (Breathe Magic). The course is for children with hemiplegia and, through the learning of magic, it encourages them to try to do the everyday things they struggle with - fastening buttons, cutting food, shoe laces etc. Without the Trust we would not have been able to send him. Thank you to everyone at the Axentis Michael Charitable Trust.
"I’m so grateful to the Trust for helping me fulfil my bucket list."
Jo Phillips, Cancer Fighter.
"I had a phone call when I was putting the children to bed – the Axentis Michael Charitable Trust had offered to contribute £32,000 towards Jacob's treatment. My husband came down the stairs and I screamed! "
Nicola Baird, Jacob’s Mum.
"I had a call from the Trust who said they were going to cover the rest of the costs I needed for my treatment - I couldn’t believe it. It would have taken me another three or four years, at least, to raise enough money."
Kevin Binding, Stroke Survivor.
"Thank you for enabling our family to have the freedom to do what many families take for granted."
Emma, Isabella’s Mum.
