Loveitts Proudly Supporting Shine A Light as Our Charity of the Year for 2025
At Loveitts Estate Agents, giving back to the community has always been a part of who we are. Every year, we choose a local charity close to our hearts to support through fundraising events and initiatives, helping raise vital funds and awareness. For 2025, we are absolutely thrilled to say that our chosen charity is Shine A Light, a remarkable organisation making a real difference to the lives of children and families facing childhood cancer across Coventry and Warwickshire.
Throughout the year, our team is getting involved in all sorts of activities - from quiz night to golf day - to raise as much money as possible for this fantastic cause. We’re excited for what’s ahead and even more passionate about supporting Shine A Light’s incredible work.
Who Are Shine A Light?
Shine A Light Support Service was established to provide dedicated, personal support to families living with childhood cancer. Based in Coventry, they work across the wider Warwickshire region, offering practical help, emotional support, and fun, inclusive activities for children with cancer and their families.
A childhood cancer diagnosis turns a family’s life upside down. Treatments are often gruelling and can last for months or even years. Families face not only medical challenges but emotional, social, and financial ones too. Shine A Light steps in to offer a safe, understanding community and much-needed relief from the isolation many families feel.
Unlike national organisations, Shine A Light provides truly local, hands-on support. Their services are designed to help the entire family - not just the child receiving treatment - because cancer impacts siblings, parents, and carers too.
What Services Do Shine A Light Offer?
Shine A Light focuses on offering friendship and a more supported experience to families affected by childhood cancer across Coventry and Warwickshire. Their services include:
1. Drop-in Centre
Shine A Light runs a welcoming Drop-in Centre where families can pop in for a coffee and a chat. The Centre provides a relaxed environment for families living with childhood cancer to meet others in similar situations, access support, and find a listening ear whenever they need it.
2. Family Events
Throughout the year, Shine A Light organises a variety of family events that allow families to create special memories together. These include day trips, activity days, and seasonal parties — all designed to bring fun, joy, and a sense of community to families navigating a difficult journey.
3. Hospital Support
Shine A Light provides hospital support for families spending time in hospital. They visit local hospitals to offer comfort, friendship, and a little extra support to families when they are away from home and facing the challenges of treatment.
4. Youth Group
Recognising that childhood cancer impacts the whole family, Shine A Light offers dedicated youth support. They run activities and provide a safe space for young people to meet others who understand what they are going through, helping them to build friendships and receive emotional support.
5. Bereavement Support
For families who experience the devastating loss of a child, Shine A Light continues to offer bereavement support. They help families navigate their grief by providing a compassionate community and practical support during the most difficult times.
Why We Chose Shine A Light
At Loveitts, we feel it’s important to support causes that make a tangible difference right here in our local community. Shine A Light’s work resonated deeply with us. Their commitment to helping families in some of the darkest times of their lives is nothing short of inspiring.
By choosing Shine A Light as our Charity of the Year for 2025, we hope to help them continue expanding their services so that no family in Coventry or Warwickshire has to face childhood cancer alone.
We were particularly touched by the fact that Shine A Light doesn’t just focus on medical needs — they focus on creating friendships, positive experiences, and emotional resilience too.
