Your Impact
Your fundraising helps us provide:
Therapeutic Support for Children
Helping children adjust to life during and after treatment, not only the diagnosed child but also their siblings, who are learning to understand the changes and emotions that come with a cancer diagnosis.
Specialist Counselling for Families
Providing parents and grandparents with expert emotional support as they navigate anxiety, grief, and the challenges of coping with family trauma.
Fun Family Activities and Events
Creating joyful experiences for children affected by cancer and their siblings, giving them opportunities to laugh, play, and make cherished memories together at a time when they’re needed most.
Tailored Practical Guidance
Supporting families as they rebuild and adjust to their “new normal” both during treatment and once it ends, helping them move forward with confidence and hope.
Every pound you raise keeps these essential services running, ensuring no family faces childhood cancer alone.
Join us this Christmas, wear it, share it, and let’s make a difference together.
