We work with families, hospitals, and hospices across the UK supporting palliative cancer patients from 0-25 years old.
The ways we help young cancer patients
Memory Making
We offer young cancer patients Cash Gifts to spend as they wish. We want to brighten their day by allowing them to do whatever it is that they enjoy the most, enabling them to spend quality time with the people who matter while giving them a sense of control over their lives and normality amongst the chaos.
Our Cash Gifts have been spent on a range of things such as family holidays, shopping sprees in a toy store, personal firework displays, weddings, blessings and opportunities to say thank you.
Keepsakes
We fund hand-made personalised fingerprint jewellery for loved ones to use as keepsakes.
Glass hearts can be engraved with hand written messages, a verse from a song or a favourite saying.
Hand casting kits are sent to families to create their own meaningful moment that can be painted or cast in bronze.
Activities are provided in the form a memory box for a young patient to concentrate on their lives and loved ones.
Creative Therapy
We provide activity boxes for young cancer patients to use during periods of treatment. These are sent to hospitals throughout the country to provide a creative focus and essential distraction during visits to day units or longer stays.
Our latest service currently being developed will support families through our new Sibling Boxes. The contents will offer a talking point for the family to prepare for what lies ahead and give an opportunity for siblings to ask those difficult questions surrounding death and dying.
Get involved
We know you care about improving the lives of children and young people living with cancer as much as we do. If you want to become part of our force for change, there has never been a better time.
There are so many ways to get involved in your local area, even from the comfort of your own bed. Whether it’s through volunteering, donating, or creating a fundraising event, any contribution you can make to our cause will have a real and immediate impact on a palliative patient.
