About this cause

We provide emotional, practical, social and financial support to families facing childhood cancer in the East Midlands. We fund a Family Support Worker at Nottingham Children's Hospital. We organise activities, days out and events for all the family to enable respite and reduce isolation. We’re a social lifeline at a traumatic and isolating time.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Our project will enable children living with a life-threatening illness to enjoy the same experiences as any other child. It will help children, siblings, and parents build support networks and friendships and gain access to a network of peer support. Through fun group activities, it will also give them a welcome break from hospital treatments and the stresses that a serious illness brings.
