A child or young person with or beyond cancer

When a child or young person is diagnosed with cancer, it impacts the whole family. Finding the right guidance, support, and resources can make a big difference during treatment and beyond. This page brings together childhood cancer support services, counselling for cancer patients’ families, and practical tools to help you face the challenges ahead.

Here you’ll find information on:

• Explaining cancer to children and teenagers in age-appropriate ways.
• Practical guidance for parents and carers on treatment, recovery, and day-to-day challenges.
• Access to cancer support services and peer support networks for families.
• Links to financial help for families dealing with cancer, easing some of the pressures that cancer can bring.

Whether your child is currently in treatment, moving into recovery, or adjusting to life beyond cancer, these free resources for cancer patients and families are here to provide comfort, clarity, and connection.
