About us
What we do
Today, 12 children and young people will hear the news that they have cancer. In an instant, their whole world can feel like it’s turned upside down.
Young Lives vs Cancer is the only charity in the UK with Specialist Social Workers who provide tailored support to children and young people with cancer, and their families.
They work in all the main children’s cancer hospitals [around the UK]. They work closely with doctors, nurses and other NHS professionals as an integral part of the team caring for children with cancer.
When a child or young person is going through cancer treatment, our Homes from Home are a free place for families to stay. This allows families to stay close to the hospital, while a child or young person is receiving treatment and offers a welcoming space to cook a meal or just hang out together.
Thanks to our supporters we have been able to deliver:
-
2212 Enquiries that our Benefits and Welfare Advice Service answered in one year on a range of topics including debt, housing and benefits.
Financial Support -
633 The number of families we welcomed to our homes throughout the year for a total of 23,892 nights
