Testimonials - Our work - Grants

We provide direct real help to families in the following ways:

1. MEDICAL TREATMENT GRANTS - If a child or family wish to try a different or complimentary approach to their medical treatment, and this is agreed by the Consultant treating the child, we can help. This may be in a number of ways, including herbal medicines, complimentay treatments such as reflexology, reiki, homeopathy etc. or providing an organic diet.

2. FAMILY AND SOCIAL GRANTS - Here we will provide direct help for all the additional on-costs which are incurred having a child on long-term treatment. These are additional costs for Hospital Parking, Travelling to/from hospital, Food and subsistence whilst in hospital, child care support needs and help at home, help for siblings etc. These grants also cover other needs for families, such as Stair Lifts, Wheel Chairs, downstairs toilets etc. when caring for their child at home.

3. BEREAVEMENT GRANTS - Not all children win their brave fight against their disease. In these cases, it can be very hard to focus on the "daily routine" and we can help provide some help where it is needed. We can help families take the time they need to be together at a time when they need it most and reduce the pressure to go back to work.

Since we started our work in 2007, we have been able to help, through the generosity of our supporters, the provision of various grants and awards to many families.

So far, we have provided 16 grants and awards to families who need help at a time when they needed the help.

These grants are only possible by the donations and support through our fundraising activites and we thank you for all you have done to help us help our real heroes.

The grants we have been able to provide to these families have totalled over £9,000 and have made such a difference at a time when it is needed most. This is what some have said to us:
