About Us
Our Mission.
...to offer holistic wellbeing (emotional, spiritual & practical) support to Children and Young People diagnosed with brain tumours, other cancers and their families.
Our Vision.
A future where children with cancer and their families are offered
holistic (emotional, practical and spiritual) wellbeing support from the point of diagnosis onwards.
Our Mission
to improve the quality, accessibility and affordability of holistic
(emotional, practical and spiritual) wellbeing support for children with cancer and their families.
Our Strategy
Through a Quality Improvement led study with the Quality Improvement Clinic and the London School of Paediatrics, we have identified gaps in the quality, accessibility and affordability of holistic wellbeing support for children with cancer and their families, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds. We aim to bridge these gaps by working with system partners to co-design transform holistic wellbeing support services, address the wellbeing inequalities that exist in accessibility and affordability and improve healthcare outcomes for our children with cancer and their families.
Our community's main health needs are emotional, psychological, and social support that complements clinical care. Children with cancer face not only physical challenges but also trauma during critical developmental stages. Their parents and siblings also endure complicated stress and grief cycles that compound their access to, experience of and outcomes of care.
We have identified these needs through our lived experience, and by partnering with the Paediatric Oncology unit at The Hillingdon Hospital (THH) to receive referrals, actively engage with over 150 people connected to our children with cancer and families, we demonstrate the widespread need for our services.
