People: Improving people’s mental wellbeing
Our aim is to give families with children affected by cancer the opportunity to enjoy a short break together at our purpose-built retreat, away from the everyday realities of living with cancer.
About this cause
We provide practical support for young cancer patients and their families across Scotland. In addition to our practical support we focus on the health and wellbeing of the whole family offering short breaks at our retreat either during or after treatment which provide a calm and caring environment away from the everyday realities of living with cancer and is offered free of charge to all families.
How this cause brings people in the community together
We support families through a real community effort of volunteers, local businesses, nurses and doctors who provide all they need to spend precious time together. Our volunteers are trained to welcome each family; they also clean and maintain the garden at the retreat to ensure that families have nothing to consider but themselves. Local businesses also provide each family with food.
