Passionate Pink!, Our Cause's

For some years before founding Passionate Pink, Deb Little chaired a regional fund raising group for the charity Breakthrough Breast Cancer, during this time, she helped not only raise vital funds, and the profile of Breakthrough but also awareness of the fabulous work in research carried out by the amazing scientists at their centre’s throughout the UK.

Although we dont work in an exclusive way with Cancer related charities, more than 65% of our events are for cancer based charities, whether it be women, mans or childhood cancer in research or directly helping people affected in some way by this disease.

Our umbrella groups will nominate there own charities, generally something close to the heart of the people running the group, yet from every event our umbrella groups hold, they make a donation to the founding groups causes.

Our newly formed Passionate Pink! Liverpool Group will be supporting the charity Megans World, this charity provides support and financial assistance to parents of stillborn babies throughout the UK.

Megans World is there to help those who have lost their babies due to stillbirth which are known as 'born sleeping. Megans world provides financial assistance to who are unable to provide burial plots and head stones due to finacial costs. At Megan’s World they like to call these “angel beds and headboards”.

Megan’s World was founded on behalf of Megan, the charity dedicate there amazing work to Megan (tinkerbell) born sleeping on the 22nd February 2009, and all angel babies.

The charity was founded by Megan’s mummy (Aimee) and her family who after their very sad and unexpected loss, have joined together to help others during these tragic times.

Megan’s World will, on application help to cover most, if not all of the cost in helping to provide those special beds and headboards.

Passionate Pink! have pledged to help Megans world achieve their goals.
