Charity Work

For several years we worked alongside the Anthony Nolan Trust, helping to raise money. We are now equally proud to be working alongside another very deserving charity Clic Sargent. We hope you can help too; here is a little more information about their important work:

CLIC SARGENT - STRONGER TOGETHER

Every 24 hours 10 children are diagnosed with cancer or leukaemia. CLIC Sargent keeps families together when the unimaginable happens.

CLIC and Sargent Cancer Care for children merged together in 2005 to become CLIC Sargent, the UK's leading children's cancer charity.

We provide more for more children and young people with cancer and leukaemia and their families by:

Providing specialist clinical care

CLIC Sargent nurses provide specialist care and support both in hospital, at home and in the community.

A Life line - supporting the family

CLIC Sargent social workers provide psychosocial and emotional care and practical support.

Relating to Children

Children often don't understand what is happening to them and are frightened. CLIC Sargnet play specialists provide emotional and developmental support, helping them cope with their traumatic experience.

….and young people.

Cancer and leukaemia can leave teenagers, in particular, feeling isolated and different from their friends. CLIC Sargent youth workers offer ways to help them deal with their illness.

Helping to keep families together

Parents with a child undergoing treatment are often bewildered and anxious, frequently in a place far from home. CLIC Sargent runs homes allowing parents, children and siblings to stay together.

CLIC Sargent holidays

The whole family needs a respite from the routine of treatment. CLIC Sargent's holiday service provides a relaxing and fun time for families who can be confident that specialist oncology care is there when they need it.

Offering financial help and advice

Cancer often carries a financial cost, quite apart from the expenses relating to treatment and care - travel costs to and from hospitals, after school care for siblings and unpaid leave from work.

CLIC Sargent gives grants and other benefits advice providing families with a helping hand for their short term and immediate financial needs.

Researching, Treatment and Care

Seven out of ten children now survive their cancer, thank particularly to research into treatment and causes over the last thirty years.

CLIC Sargent funds research into causes, treatments and needs of children and young people with cancer and their families.

Can you help?

With no government funding, fundraising plays a vital role for CLIC Sargent. Every day our dedicated supporters go to great lengths to raise as much money as possible so that more and more children and young people with cancer and leukaemia can be helped. By taking part in these spooky events you could directly help CLIC Sargent provide all of these services to patients with cancer or leukaemia and their families.
Every penny truly counts.
