Watch React’s BBC Lifeline Appeal – presented by Richard Clifford
Every month, BBC One broadcasts a ten-minute long appeal on behalf of a different charity through its programme Lifeline.
React was delighted to be chosen as October’s featured charity and three of our wonderful families contributed to our film – speaking to camera about the stories of children Harvey, Arthur and Lana.

React’s Lifeline appeal was presented by the talented actor, producer and React Trustee Richard Clifford, who also played a hands-on role in bringing our film to life over the past few months.
The appeal went live on BBC One on the 19th October, with later showings on BBC Two and is available on iPlayer during late October and early November. If you missed it or would like to watch again, you can do so below:
React sends its heartfelt thanks to Richard Clifford, our spokesperson and long-standing supporter Debbie Brownlee, and all families who contributed to making our appeal so powerful and moving.
We also thank you for watching and all who donated – your support enables React to continue providing rapid support to families caring for terminally ill children across the UK.
