The Lewis Foundation
Beyond the numbers with Lorraine and Lee
Join us as we dive into the heart-warming journey of Lorraine and Lee, the inspiring co-founders of The Lewis Foundation.
Driven by their own family’s experience with cancer, they built a charity that brings comfort, dignity, and hope to adults battling cancer across the midlands.
The challenge
When a charity grows rapidly, it can be an exciting time – but also overwhelming. Growth often brings new opportunities to reach more people and make a bigger impact, but it also creates added complexity behind the scenes. Whether it’s hiring staff, keeping up with legal requirements, or handling day-to-day operations – it can quickly stretch resources to their limit.
The challenge
When a business grows rapidly, it can be exciting – but also overwhelming. Growth brings a host of new challenges: hiring staff, managing stock, pressures on cash flow, legal and compliance risks, and operational strain.
For Izzy, it also meant being swamped with financial admin – from bookkeeping and quarterly VAT submissions to monthly payroll and her annual self-assessment. It was simply too much to manage alone, without proper, dedicated support.
