PROVIDING CARE
Enya's Odyssey is based in the South West
Here at Enya’s Odyssey our number one priority at all times is promoting the importance of fun and play for children fighting Leukaemia in the South West. Play, equipment, and acts of kindness are all crucial parts of Enya’s Odyssey’s mission to give children dealing with Leukaemia the support they need.
Children’s Medical Support
Providing child friendly medical equipment to minimise anxiousness for children suffering from Leukaemia during their stays in hospital.
Play Equipment
Lift spirits amid some difficult days by providing play equipment, fostering joy and resilience for children battling leukaemia, helping put a smile on their faces.
Projects
We will fund the creation of small projects centred around play that can be delivered to wards or directly to homes during respite.
Family Care Packages
Providing simple and engaging care packages for families to use during their child’s intensive treatment cycles.
What is Leukaemia?
Leukaemia is a type of blood cancer that affects white blood cells - the cells responsible for fighting illness and infection. It disrupts normal blood cell production, requiring special care and treatment for children battling this disease.
THE STORY SO FAR
ABOUT US
Enya’s Odyssey is named after a beautiful 4-year old girl named Enya Nellie, who was diagnosed with AML, a rare form of Leukaemia in girls. The family was taken straight from her local Treliske Hospital in Cornwall to Bristol Children’s Hospital where they were told that her treatment would be residential and all delivered in Bristol. Understanding by experience Enya’s Parents along with Enya decided to form a charity to support in ways that would make positive changes for the families and children battling leukemia. The aim is to make the treatment and stays a little more bearable
Our History
We are a smaller charity born out of our personal yet universal experience of the things we would see in the wards of hospitals across the South West and felt motivated to provide some much needed help to the departments that helped us.
Coming from a nursery and play background we identified small things that potentially could make a huge difference. Through discussions with professionals, we expressed our feelings and they were appreciative of what we could potentially offer. The teams work so hard on the ward this may just be a little boost that they need to get through another day.
Our Vision
Enya’s Odyssey’s mission statement is really quite simple. Provide support play for children and families during unspeakably difficult times and bring activities and equipment to the wards to lower anxiousness and feelings in all children on their journey with Leukaemia and try to bring a smile to some beautiful faces.

Zip Wire Challenge
Well hello superstars! Sunday is almost upon us and time for our brave volunteers to climb new heights and zip across the Eden domes and woodland canopy. The adrenaline will be flowing as Katie, Miles and Mark prepare along with our team of 20 brave souls who have joined together in aid of Enyas Odyssey to raise money for the charity providing yet another chance to help other families and their children going through challenging treatments.
The charity has been able to support many families so far and provided resources to both help make the children’s treatments a little less traumatic and provide some cuddly friends to help children focus emotionally and share their anxieties with a special friend.
This zip wire activity has so far raised over £6000as a result of all of your kind sponsorship and has enabled us to look forward to providing a brand new state of the art computer known as “the cow” that can be taken into sterile environments during the children’s treatment schedules.
We would like to thank all of you for your kind donations and if you can come along on Sunday and support our intrepid zip wire riders along with Enya and Enya Nellie our charity mascot, we can all cheer them on together and celebrate another wonderful achievement in aid of Enyas Odyssey!
