The Ben McNicol Trust was established to make life that bit easier for children and their families who find themselves in this situation. The Trust hopes to purchase a property, "Ben's House", where families can stay during treatment. It also hopes to provide short term accommodation for families close to specialist centres to make travelling and getting to appointments easier. The Trust has so far raised in excess of £220,000 and is, therefore, well on its way to reaching its goal of £250,000.
