Being told your child has cancer or another life-challenging condition is devastating. Day-to-day life is turned upside down.
We support the entire family during times of unimaginable strain – the children and their parents, but also siblings and grandparents too. We're here to make sure that no family has to cope alone.
We support children and their families from all over South West London, Surrey and West Sussex. Families with children facing cancer or another life-challenging condition know we’re there at every step for as long as we're needed.
All families are different, so we offer individually-tailored support through our family support programme, offering practical and emotional help, as well as a range of therapy services including music, play and art.
We aim to ease some of the stresses that come with a gruelling treatment plan, so provide trips, family experiences and respite breaks. We also improve the environment for children treated in local hospitals with our children's ward refurbishments.
At any one time, we support around 200 families whose child is in active treatment, and a further 75 bereaved families. We're there whatever the outcome, for as long as needed, so that no family has to cope alone.
£30 could pay for a visit from a Family Support Worker, providing comfort and advice to a distressed parent. That’s just £2.50 per month for a year.
