Public benefits
The charity provides direct benefit by relieving hardship, distress and disadvantage experienced by children affected by childhood cancer and by supporting their families and carers. These benefits include improved wellbeing, reduced financial and practical pressures during diagnosis and treatment, increased understanding of medical processes and
long‑term effects, and reduced isolation through access to information and peer connection. The charity’s activities support beneficiaries to better manage the physical, emotional and social impacts of childhood cancer and contribute to improved health outcomes and quality of life. The benefits are demonstrated through the provision of financial assistance, essential items and practical support directly to beneficiaries, as well as through the sharing of accessible information and resources. Evidence of benefit may include records of grants awarded, support provided, and items or services supplied; feedback from children, families and carers; engagement with informational content shared through digital and social media platforms; and ongoing demand for the charity’s services. Collectively, these show that the charity’s activities lead to tangible relief of need and increased understanding and support for those affected by childhood cancer. No harm arises from the charity’s purposes. The purposes are wholly charitable and designed to relieve need, advance health and support wellbeing among a vulnerable group. All activities are carried out with due care, safeguarding considerations and oversight by the Trustees to ensure that support is appropriate, proportionate and in the best interests of beneficiaries. The beneficiaries are children and young people who have received a diagnosis of childhood cancer, are undergoing or have undergone treatment, or are living with the long‑term effects of childhood cancer. The beneficiaries also include the families, parents, siblings and carers of those children, as well as individuals who are bereaved as a result of childhood cancer. There is no intended private benefit arising from the charity’s purposes. Any private benefit that may arise, such as payments to suppliers for goods or services or reasonable reimbursement of expenses, is incidental and necessary to the effective delivery of the charity’s charitable activities. Such benefits are proportionate and are strictly controlled by the Trustees to ensure they further the charity’s purposes and do not outweigh the public benefit provided.
What your organisation does
The charity exists to support children and young people affected by childhood cancer, and the families and carers who walk alongside them. It provides compassionate, practical and timely help at every stage of the cancer journey — from diagnosis, through treatment and recovery, and into long‑term survivorship or bereavement. Support may
include small direct financial assistance to ease immediate pressures such as travel to hospital, accommodation near treatment centres or minor household bills. The charity also helps families access essential items and equipment, such as medical or mobility aids, comfort items for hospital stays etc. The charity provides journals which can be a practical and therapeutic tool for parents, carers etc. Alongside this, the charity offers practical services and emotional support, helping families navigate complex healthcare systems, understand treatment pathways, and cope with the everyday realities of childhood cancer. This includes signposting to specialist services, facilitating peer support, and providing clear, accessible explanations of medical terminology and lived experiences. The charity also uses social media and digital platforms to share trustworthy information and lived‑experience insight with a network of families affected by childhood cancer. This includes explaining medical procedures and terminology in plain language, sharing stories that help families feel less alone, raising awareness of support available, and building a connected, informed community grounded in empathy and shared understanding.
