Royal Fernwood makes porcelain donation to Indira Cancer Trust
View(s):Royal Fernwood Porcelain, a large-scale manufacturer of high quality white and decorated porcelain tableware and figurine ornaments that enjoys a global reputation in the porcelain tableware industry as a reliable supplier to many premium brands, recently made a significant donation to the Indira Cancer Trust.
Taking the form of a gift encompassing a large quantity of porcelain tableware, Royal Fernwood Porcelain’s donation to the Indira Cancer Trust is part of the company’s continuing efforts to support its community and country in whatever way it can, the company said in a media release.
Established in November 2016, the Indira Cancer Trust offers an array of much-needed support services to people living with cancer, with a special emphasis on providing information on any type of cancer care. Having teamed up with Apeksha Hospital in Maharagama, the Trust is currently involved in 25 projects aiding patients and their families who live with cancer. It also operates a highly useful Cancer Helpline, while at the same time providing several other very important services via the Indira Care Service and the Indira Pediatric Care department.
Programmes conducted by the Indira Cancer Trust have included the provision of financial aid as well as support in securing medication, tests and scans, and even counseling and therapy and specialised pediatric care. The Trust has also helped breast cancer patients get breast prosthesis.
Additionally, the Trust has offered educational scholarships, while also carrying out programs to uplift the spirits of the patients, especially children.
One of the Trust’s most popular initiatives is its Birthday Programme, which is incidentally also one of its very first programmes. Beloved by the children at Apeksha Hospital, this programme brings joy to many, many children, with them registering well in advance of their birthdays and wholeheartedly anticipating their gifts.
Royal Fernwood Porcelain donated a significant quantity of Decorated Mugs to help meet this year’s requirements for gifts.
Dr. Lanka Jayasuriya Dissanayake from Indira Cancer Trust stated, “We are grateful to Royal Fernwood Porcelain for this yeomen service it has provided, bringing hope to children on their birthdays and helping to put a smile on their faces.”
Yoshan Fernando, Chief Executive Officer at Royal Fernwood Porcelain, stated, “We are pleased to be able to help a worthy cause such as the Indira Cancer Trust. Thanks to our porcelain, families living with cancer will in some small way experience a little piece of normalcy as they share a meal or tea surrounded by the loving and supportive Indira Cancer Trust community.”
