Beneficiaries
Children with cancer and their families face immediate and overwhelming financial strain. Families struggle with travel, accommodation, and lost income as parents reduce work to provide care. The wait for diability benefits average seven months, leaving families to cover nearly £5,000 in unexpected costs, with an ongoing £700 monthly burden. Many rely on loans or family support, adding stress to an already difficult journey. Immediate financial and emotional support is essential.
We provide financial, practical, and emotional support to families affected by childhood cancer. This includes financial grants, free accommodation at the hospital, and a dedicated social work team. By easing the costs, we help families focus on their child’s wellbeing. We provide bespoke emotional support, group activities, and advocacy ensure families feel supported. Through research, awareness, and continuous service improvements, we strive to make sure sure no family faces cancer alone.
