MAKING THEIR TREATMENT JOURNEY MORE BEARABLE
What we do
Being optimistic and having a positive attitude can result in better treatment outcomes for cancer patients. We believe that happy spaces make the treatment process easier for the children, their caregivers, and other parties involved.
The Devon Vergne Foundation takes a multi-faceted approach to implement this philosophy and provide children suffering with cancer spaces and events that brighten their hospital stays and treatments, making their treatment journey more bearable.
DEVON’S PLAYLAND OR COMMUNAL AREAS
Projects
We identify areas at paediatric oncology units where we can develop a Devon’s Playland or communal areas. We work with trusted, experienced service providers to help us come up with new concepts and designs as well as upgrade and maintain these spaces.
Take a look at our PROJECTS to see the work we’ve done and what’s in the pipeline.
VISITS TO LIFT PATIENTS’ SPIRITS
Outreach and volunteer programmes
Our dedicated team regularly visits paediatric oncology units at various hospitals to help lift the patients’ spirits. We give patients a Devon Care Package, plan activities and entertainment, and share treats and drinks with patients, their families and healthcare workers.
The treats are always a hit, but often the time spent drawing or crafting with young patients means more – love and attention can be an underutilised but much appreciated tool in support and recovery.

FROM DELICIOUS TREATS TO CHRISTMAS BOXES
Festive events
Celebrations can fall by the wayside when a child is undergoing cancer treatment. The Devon Vergne Foundation helps bring normality and joy by organising special events at paediatric oncology units for occasions like Easter or Christmas. From delicious treats to Christmas boxes to a Father Christmas to hand them out, we endeavour to make every patient feel special and cared for.
