The Isabel Baker Foundation is named after our brave little hero, Isabel Baker, whose extraordinary strength motivated us to embark upon a journey where we could help the other little heroes who are battling their own fights against childhood cancer.
Since 2015, The Isabel Baker Foundation has supported over 1,100 families across the UK, offering practical assistance during the toughest times. From supermarket vouchers to dry suits for children with Hickman lines, and stays at 'Isabel’s Retreat', our aim is to ease the burdens that childhood cancer brings.
​
Our mission goes beyond financial aid. We provide unique opportunities for families to reconnect and recharge, such as restful breaks at our holiday home in Dorset, 'Isabel’s Retreat', where they can create cherished memories away from the pressures of treatment. We also fund complementary therapies to support both physical and emotional well-being for children.
​
At the heart of everything we do is the belief that no family should face this journey alone. Whether you need support or want to help us make a difference, we invite you to connect with us.
​
Join us in transforming the lives of families facing childhood cancer. Together, we can offer hope, relief, and the opportunity for families to focus on what matters most - each other. 💛

Dry Suit Appeal
Alongside providing food vouchers for families struggling financially & free holidays in our holiday home 'Isabel's Retreat', we are also focused on providing dry suits to children with cancer.
​
These are not cheap ranging from £350-£400 per custom made dry suit, but they make the world of difference to the families we support.
​
Without a dry suit, a child with a Hickman line cannot go swimming, have a bath, splash in the sea or play in the paddling pool, without risk of a serious life threatening infection.
​
One family said "this niche service you offer is so powerful to children and their families. I doubt many people will realise the need or the benefit"... "as well as her missing the joy of swimming, activity in the pool will be a significant benefit as she tries to improve her physical control and strength to overcome effects brought on by her surgery last year"​​​
Make change possible by volunteering with us or signing up for some fun activities and fundraisers.
