Financial Support
The financial toll of childhood cancer is immense, help us ease the immediate financial pressure felt by your family.
Travel costs, unpaid leave at work, reliance on carer’s benefits; there are many ways it can affect you, but our grants are here to help you at your time of need.
I applied for a grant from [Lennox] after my son was diagnosed with cancer. I found them very helpful and the money they gave us really helped us through a bad time.
The benefits
- Non-Medical Expenses We know that families who are caring for a child with cancer face significant non-medical expenses during the disease's diagnostic stage, treatment, and follow-up care.
- Impact on Employment For many, leaving a job to care for a child has a major impact. Some people can take unpaid leave, but they still lose a vital source of income.
- Focus Shift It is easy for unpaid bills to pile up while you put your energy into caring for your sick child.
Piper's story
After Piper was diagnosed with cancer, her father had to take a lot of time off work and her mother had to give up work entirely. We were able to support her family financially with a £250 Care and Crisis Grant.
