Robbie Anderson was diagnosed with
Metastatic Angiosarcoma in December 2004. The R.A.C.T was set up in December 2005 by Robbie with an aim was to raise money for the children's oncology ward at the Leicester Royal Infirmary. Robbie wanted to start by funding a large wall-hung plasma T.V. for the teenagers room on the ward in time for Christmas. Fund raising began in his village and the T.V. was on the ward for Christmas Eve. Robbie tragically lost his fight with M.A. on March 15th 2006, but his memory lives on in the continuing success of the fund, which benefits the lives of many terminally ill children. The R.A.C.T are currently working with The Teenage Cancer Trust to build a 5 bed ward for young people being treated for cancer. The project will provide specialist nursing care and a better environment for teenagers with cancer. By attending MidsummersBIGNight you will be helping to raise the money that will make this all possible. The R.A.C.T are delighted to be donating 50% of the funds raised at MidsummersBIGNight to : Help for Heroes “It’s about the blokes, our men and women of the Armed Forces.

They are just blokes but they are our blokes; they are our heroes!” Army Benevolent Fund For 65 years the Army Benevolent Fund (ABF) has worked tirelessly to provide support to serving soldiers, former soldiers and their families in times of need.
