CLIC SARGENT CARING FOR CHILDREN WITH CANCER
(CANCER & LEUKAEMIA IN CHILDHOOD)
CLIC
Sargent is the UKs leading registered children’s cancer charity, supporting
children, young people and their families through cancer every step of
the way.
Caring for children and young people with cancer through:
* Nurses
* Social Workers
* Play Therapists
* Home from Home
* Research
* Financial support and advice
* Holidays
£1.50 puts cancer and
leukaemia into words that young people can understand, in a set of 3
colourful storybooks written especially for children under 10.
£5 could buy some finger
puppets which will help a CLIC-Sargent Play Specialist to explain
treatment to young children in a gentle way, helping them to understand
and better cope with treatment.
£10 provides parents with
CLIC-Sargent's 'Little Denim Book'. Many parents find this filofax
indispensable as it contains useful hospital info , charts for blood
counts and space to record other key facts about a child's treatment.
£20 helps buy several blood
sample kits that CLIC-Sargent nurses can use on a home visit, saving a
family making a round-trip to hospital for a simple blood test.
£50 means that a CLIC Sargent social worker can be there soon after diagnosis, talking to a family one-to-one. Every family is different, so they assess their individual needs and tailor their services to suit the familes.
£100 means a young person who has (or had) cancer or leukaemia can go on an activity weekend. After months in hospital it helps them restore self-confidence, ragina independance and rebuild a social life.
