A bit about the charity,
'CLIC Sargent was formed in 2005 after a successful merger between CLIC and Sargent Cancer Care for Children.
- Sargent Cancer Care for Children - founded in 1968 by Sylvia Darley OBE as a lasting memory to the late Sir Malcolm Sargent.
- CLIC - Cancer and Leukaemia in Childhood - founded in 1976 in the south west by Bob Woodward following the diagnosis of his young son Robert with cancer two years before. Sadly, Robert died in 1977 aged 11 years, and Bob went on to dedicate his life to charity work.
CLIC Sargent recognises that every child or young person with cancer has a different experience. A cancer diagnosis also affects the whole family in many different ways, so we take time to listen and understand. Our aim is to help ensure that the whole family receives the support which works best for them.
- We provide clinical, practical and emotional support to children and young people with cancer, and their families
- We give financial support including grants and benefits information to children and young people with cancer to help deal with the financial impact of cancer
- We provide free ‘Home from Home’ accommodation close to specialist hospitals, so that families can be close to their children during treatment
- We offer free holidays and short breaks so that families can spend time together, with the support of our care professionals, away from the everyday challenges of childhood cancer
- We provide children, young people and families with a wide range of valuable information on childhood cancer and its impact
- We campaign and influence others to raise awareness of the needs of children and young people with cancer and to improve the support they receive.'
