Our vision is that no child should face cancer alone. Every week in Northern Ireland another three children and young people (age 0-24) are diagnosed with cancer and many more children are struggling to cope with their parent's cancer.We understand the devastating impact a cancer diagnosis and treatment can have on the whole family and that beyond essential medical care there is a family life that needs to be rebuilt.We help connect, empower and stregthen children and families so that they are better equipped to cope with cancer. Our team of Specialists deliver a range of community, hospital and residentialbased support including: Individual Support, Group Work, Parental Support and Therapeutic Short Breaks.The whole family can avail of free therapeutic short breaks at our residential centre, Daisy Lodge in Newcastle. Our short breaks allow families to spend time together in a safe and nurturing environment, far removed from hospital wards and treatment regimes. They also offer children and parents a unique opportunity to access peer support and share their experiences of cancer with other families.We support over 400 families and 800 children and young people every year.
