A gift for cancer patients that is genuinely helpful during recovery

They can use their Village Voucher across a range of services and products, whenever they need a little extra help. The Village never expires and can be topped up at any point, so they will be supported throughout their treatment and recovery.

Their Virtual Village of helping hands will be there to take the kids to the park, to make that huge pile of washing disappear or to give the house a once-over, once, or once a week!

It's the magic answer to the difficult question: "How can I help?"

They redeem their voucher for all the things they really need, at the times they really need them. Whether you are near or far, you can support your loved ones in the best possible way with It Takes a Village.

    That’s where Sittr was born.
