Story
Everyday 12 children and young people hear the devastating news that they have cancer. Cancer is not stopping for Coronavirus, and CLIC Sargent's services are on the frontline, supporting families facing cancer.
Demand for these services has never been higher from families already facing cancer and now anxious because of Coronavirus too. The families CLIC Sargent supports are worried about their child’s risk of infection; some are separated by isolation rules; struggling financially or practically. Things like getting to their child’s bedside in hospital or even putting food on the table are challenges families are telling us they are facing right now.
CLIC Sargent, is 100% funded by voluntary donations. So whilst the urgent need for support and hardship grants is rising rapidly, the income available to provide this support is plummeting, as many fundraising events have been cancelled or postponed.
We'll be hopping, hula-hooping, star-jumping and whatever else comes to mind around the garden 26 times on Sunday 26th April. It's a family effort from age 5 to 40-something.
