Welcome to the CLICENDALES 2022 LEAVERS DANCE justgiving page!
We're a group of final year medical students, who will be participating in the annual clicendales medics dance show, raising money for young lives vs cancer. - a charity that supports young people and their families with cancer.
The CLIC show is an annual show, with 200 medics dancing at 02 academy on the 5th March in the hope to raise money for our amazing charity! A group of us 12 final year medical students will be participating in the show as part of the leavers dance! Call us the OAPS of the medical school! Any donation, big or small, is immensely helpful to our cause and we'd be really grateful for anything! Thank you!
Here’s some up-to-date amounts for what your money goes to:
£25 could pay for an hour of support for a family from a Young Lives vs Cancer Social Care Worker. They will aim to speak with children and young people with cancer, and their families, soon after diagnosis and help them to understand and cope with the emotional, practical and financial effects of cancer, through treatment and beyond.
£38 could pay for a family to stay together, for free in a Young Lives vs Cancer Home from Home for one night, close to where their child receives cancer treatment.
£100 could pay for a family to receive a Young Lives vs Cancer grant helping to cover the immediate costs that a cancer diagnosis brings, such as travel, parking and sibling childcare.
£200 could pay for the bereavement support of a young cancer patient and their family.
£1,178 could pay for 31 days; the average duration of a family’s stay at a Young Lives vs Cancer Home from Home saving that family £3,100 in emergency accommodation costs and enabling the family to stay together. These Homes are so important, often a lifeline for families, providing them with a place to stay, close to where the child is receiving cancer treatment.
