Abby’s Heroes
Abby’s Heroes supports children, teenagers and young adults from across the South of England when diagnosed with cancer, together with their families. We follow a family’s journey from diagnosis, through their therapy regime, completing their treatment plan, relapse and sadly if their child needs palliative care. Offering emergency grants for either financial or practical reasons, we are able to give families breathing space to concentrate on their children, when the financial impact of childhood cancer affects a family.

Young Lives vs Cancer
Young Lives vs Cancer is the UK’s leading cancer charity for children, young people and their families. When a child or young person is diagnosed with cancer, their whole world (and their family’s) can feel like it’s falling apart. They need special treatment because their cancer is different to adults’, they can only be treated in certain hospitals, and they often travel miles and miles to get there. The impact of cancer on young lives is far more than medical. Their anxieties are deep. Their education, mental health and social life suffer. Their future feels very uncertain.
