It's arrived!!Very proud to see the delivery of this super book. This grew from an idea in lockdown with a wonderful collaboration of 56 amazing colleagues who kindly said "Yes!". I wish to thank everyone involved for all their support. So much to learn from every chapter.

They’ve already raised more than £25,000 through previous challenges, showing just what this group can achieve when they put their minds to it! One peak to go. One incredible challenge. And one more opportunity to make a difference. Good luck to all the ‘old boys’ – and thank you for supporting the Mouth Cancer Foundation and the head and neck cancer community!💙🫶 #MouthCancerFoundation #ScafellPike #ThreePeaks #Fundraising #MouthCancerAwareness #HeadAndNeckCancer #CharityChallenge #Teamwork #TheOldBoysAreBack

Every year Pat and Colin Jones hold the Clare Memorial Cup in memory of their daughter Clare Jones. This year was no exception and the event took place on 05 September 2026 at Shrewsbury Golf Club and raised an incredible £3250. The Mouth Cancer Foundation is indebted to the support from Clare’s family. Thank you! ⛳🏌🏾‍♀️🏌🫶#fundraising #golf #Clare’smemory

A huge ‘shout out’ goes to the wonderful driver of the Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust Screening Unit, Jonathan Green, who took part in the Mouth Cancer Foundation Awareness Walk once he had delivered the mobile dental unit to site. Jonathan, who works with the Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust in North East London as part of the outreach team, parked up, walked 5K and raised an impressive £270 in the process. The screening unit is an important part of the Mouth Cancer Foundation Awareness Walks giving walkers and members of the local community the opportunity to find out more about mouth cancer, the importance of early detection and encouraging people to be proactive about their oral health. The Mouth Cancer Foundation would like to thank Jonathan for taking part, raising such a fantastic amount and helping to spread the word about mouth cancer awareness. #MouthCancerWalk #EarlyDetection #Fundraising #MouthCancerAwareness #CommunitySupport

🥾 THE ‘OLD BOYS’ ARE BACK! ⛰️ After conquering Ben Nevis in 2023 and Snowdon in 2025, this group of former Leeds university mates are back for one final mountain – Scafell Pike!

NEW MOUTH CANCER FOUNDATION CARER GRANTS 💙 Our recent Mouth Cancer Foundation launched the Mouth Cancer Foundation Gordon Hills and Clare Jones Grants to support patients with head and neck cancer are proving really popular. So, it gives us great pleasure to now extend these grants out to carers as well. The Mouth Cancer Foundation is dedicated to supporting patients and their families and once a patient has been diagnosed the focus tends to be on them and family members and carers, can sometimes be accidentally forgotten in the process of treatment and recovery. Our carer grants are also up to the value of £250 per head and neck cancer patient per year and can cover a wide range of needs. For more information and to find the application form visit our website by clicking the link - mouthcancerfoundation.org/gr… #grants #carers #carergrants #support
