That support extends to parents and siblings, wider family members, friends and those who act as advocates for children who have had a cancer diagnosis.
The charity was founded in 2006 by Lynda and David Hill after their son, Joshua, was diagnosed with leukaemia.
As a result of a cancer diagnosis, many children and young people, and in particular their siblings, face challenges outside of their control due to a cancer diagnosis. These challenges including issues with poor education, emotional and mental health, behaviour and future attainment as they develop into adulthood.
A key element of the charity’s work is supporting children and young people in Liverpool and the North West going through these challenges, as they navigate life after treatment, or as a sibling who often gets left behind during the treatment of a brother or sister.
Our grant will contribute towards the Back on Track programme for young people aged 14+. It directly supports children and young siblings of children with terminal cancer illness, who are facing specific challenges including issues with poor education, emotional and mental health, behaviour and future attainment as they develop into adulthood.
